C#, Not functional "Cancel" button for namespace rename operation #39616

Open vsfeedback opened 4 years ago

vsfeedback commented 4 years ago

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

If you start a namespace rename refactoring operation in a large-ish project, and the millisecond you hit return you realize "Shit! I was to move just this class to a new namespace - not rename everything!" you likely try to click the "Cancel" button in the progress dialog stating "Please wait for an editor command to finish...", hoping the global Undo will handle the few files it might have already mod ified.

Well, you're out of luck.

Actual: The Cancel button does nothing. Result: Data Loss.

Expected: Immediate reaction to user clicking the Cancel button, aborting the operation.

I repeat, Immediate reaction. Cancel usually, but especially in a context such as this, is a highest priority operation. It should override pretty much everything else.

Workarounds: None known, but maybe trying to VS and kill all helper processes from e.g. Task Manager? Hitting the Reset button on the computer?

+1 rename in general doesn't behave well when cancelled.
