As I reported to Matthias a week or two ago, this worked for me in
4.xxx, but doesn't in 5.10r2. I can't remember if it worked in 5.07
or not and I've since thrown out 5.07 so I can't check. In 4.xxx I
never had a problem stopping a script, even in the middle of
compute bound, I/O free loops.

I just tried it and it doesn't work for me either. The scroll bars
are drawn (or not) correctly, but don't seem to do anything, no
matter where I click.

This is all on 5.10r2 on an 840AV running 7.1.2 with scads of extensions.
