Description Jared Burns CLA 2001-10-10 21:39:18 EDT 
1. Connect to a CVS server to which you have a very slow connection (such as MIN to ZRH).
2. Select a project and choose "Synchronize with stream."
3. In the synchronize view, accidentally click on a huge file (for ultimate frustration, select a jar).
4. Scream "Ack! No!" and hit ESC to try to cancel the lengthy (download) operation you just started.
5. If you chose a jar, wait for a long time for nothing since the viewer won't even show anything when
	it's done.
6. Request the ability to cancel operations by hitting ESC.

NOTES:
Comment 1 James Moody CLA 2001-10-23 11:55:55 EDT 
This is a general Compare request. We are just providing an input stream to the 
compare framework (in this case, the BinaryCompareViewer). It is conceivable 
that retrieving the contents could be an extremely long operation in some 
circumstances, and the compare framework should provide a way to cancel the 
operation; right now, for example, the binary compare viewer is spinning in a 
tight loop reading bytes, with no chance for cancellation.

With the double click strategy, the risk of accidently downloading a huge file has gotten 
smaller. However, a Cancel of a download should always be be possible.
After 2.1

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
