When a script is too slow and becomes unresponsive, I don't see a way to stop the script without killing the Origin program also. "Ctrl + C" does not seem to work. Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi cybernike,

Supposedly pressing Esc key could stop the running script, but if the CPU is gaplessly
occupied to do something (like looping a short computational loop), Esc wouldn't have any
chance to interrupt the task. You can press Esc many many times. Though I occasionally
needed to kill the Origin process from the Task Manager. Often I copied the currently
developing script to a Notes window, and saved the project before such risk potential.
