Character Movement Component deactivation / reset

Hello

I have a standard character that moves around (using character movement component).
I want to be able to freeze that character in place, stopping it’s movement (including falling) when event is fired.
Another event should unfreeze that character and resume it’s movement (with previous velocity).

I can do that by deactivating and activating character movement component.
It works exactly as I want it to, except for the following problem:

If I deactivate the component while the character is standing on a moving platform, when I activate it again, the character is teleported back onto that platform (even if it moved away). Relative location is maintained.
This happens even if I manually change actors location after reactivating the component.

Is there a way to lose / turn off that behavior? Something like checking again whats under characters feet?

Thanks for help.
