Dear all This comes up from time to time and here's a question. If LyX can 'timeout' and cancel a LaTeX compilation (see [1]), why couldn't it 'cancel' any such process by the click of a button? There is this very old bug report [2] and things have changed a lot since, but the current nag is that when one inadvertently initiates the compilation of a long-to-compile document and wants to abort the compilation (for any other reason, for that matter), then trying to close LyX will result in a pop-up informing that LyX cannot be closed until the compilation finishes (or times out). Can that dialogue feature a 'cancel' button that would activate the 'timeout' mechanism? Am I missing something?
