What were you trying to do?
Interrupt a running evaluation using Kernel -> Interrupt
Evaluation or Kernel -> Abort Evaluation (in the Mathematica
notebook interface).
What's wrong:
This didn't seem to have any effect. There were no visible or
audiable response. Also, the Interrupt Evaluation dialog
never came up.
What should have happened:
In the case of Abort Evaluation, Mathematica should have
aborted the evaluation and returned $Aborted, while Interrupt
Evaluation should have brought up the Interrupt Evaluation
dialog.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Help section 1.3.12 Interrupting Calculations
It should be noted that when run as a console application,
i.e. 'math', then the evaluation can be interrupted as
documented by C-c.
