KStars/Ekos summary page, mount status indicator misbehaving

I have two different computers, each with KStars/Ekos installed. And each configured to control my telescope mount remotely through indiserver. On the Ekos Set-up/summary module, on the right hand side, the mount status is indicated; "idle" when not moving, "tracking" when tracking, "slewing" when slewing, etc. Ekos reports the status correctly on the older installation but not on the newer.

For example, when I start Ekos on the new computer and go to the mount tab on the control panel, select "sync", enter coordinates and click "set", the status goes from "idle" to "slewing". Never to "tracking". (See attached.)

Is there a property that needs to be updated in the driver in order to communicate the mount status to Ekos? But then how would the old instance of Ekos know what it is the new one not? I can see where my driver sets the TelescopeStatus value but not where it is read into a property.

Thanks for reading.
