Unity New Input System, can't enable controls after disabling them

Question

I'm trying the new Unity Input System and so far it's working great. However, I ran into a small snag. I want to implement a 'pause' system. When the game is paused, the player controls should be disabled. And when the game is resumed the player controls should be back in working order. This half works. I successfully disable the player controls when the game is paused, yet when the game is resumed the controls still don't work.

Part of the class responsible for movement:

public class ShapeMover : MonoBehaviour
{
    public InputManager controls;

    private       float        _lastFallTime;
    private       float        _fallSpeed;
    private       ShapeSpawner _spawn;
    private       GameObject   _shapeToMove;
    private       Transform    _shapeToMoveTransform;
    private       bool         _isGameOver;
    private const float        _leftRotationAngle  = (float) -1.57079633;
    private const float        _rightRotationAngle = (float) 1.57079633;


    private void Awake()
    {
        _spawn        = FindObjectOfType<ShapeSpawner>();
        _lastFallTime = 0f;
        _fallSpeed    = GameGrid.Instance.GetFallSpeed();
        _isGameOver   = false;

        controls.Player.Movement.performed += ctx => Movement(ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>());
        controls.Player.Drop.performed     += ctx => Drop();
        controls.Menu.Reset.performed      += ctx => Restart();
        controls.Menu.Pause.performed      += ctx => PauseToggle();

        SetShapeToMove();
    }

Pause function in the same class:

private void PauseToggle()
{
    var currentPauseState = GameGrid.Instance.IsPaused;
    //If not paused, will pause
    if (!currentPauseState)
    {
        controls.Player.Disable();
        GameGrid.Instance.IsPaused = true;
    }
    else
    {
        controls.Player.Enable();
        GameGrid.Instance.IsPaused = false;
    }
}

Am I doing something wrong? How can I achieve the desired behavior?

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you enable player controls after setting IsPaused to false? — SharpNip
I suspect that by disabling controls, you have disabled the thing that handles changing the pause state! — Draco18s no longer trusts SE
@SharpNip If IsPaused set to false, the controls don't respond. — Curtwagner1984
@Draco18s That's not the case, because I can still pause and unpause after I paused for the first time. (It's just that after I unpause the player controls don't work, but the pause controls still do) — Curtwagner1984
Then there is not enough code here for us to solve the problem. — Draco18s no longer trusts SE

The issue seems to be solved in the new version of the Input System. To resolve the issue one needs to update to Input System 0.2.8+

When upgrading one can run into this problem.
