Narrative:

Captain discontinued use of autoplt during climb due to somewhat erratic operation during a turn using the heading bug. When selected heading was armed, autoplt was apparently re-engaged but altitude select was not rearmed. Assigned altitude was FL190 and climb was stopped at FL195 and returned to FL190 wi no further disparity.
