This is exactly how it was intended to work. The play button resets the speed to 1. If clicked again, it will pause the movie. Maybe this behavior is not straightforward and maybe in future versions it may be configurable in settings, whether the speed will reset to 1 on first click or whether the playback will be instantly paused.
