Can't stop dForce simulation?

When I'm doing a dforce simulation I can't make it stop. I click 'Cancel' and it acts like it stopped, the box disappears, then it pops back up and the percent hasn't changed, it just carries on as if I hadn't cancelled. The only way I've been able to cancel is to close DS. Is this normal? Am I missing something?

    Are you doing this after an explosion?

    I don't think so... I've never had an explosion?

    Is it actually simulating, or is it reporting a lot of spring lengths shorter than the minimum offset?

    Eventually it finishes, sometimes the simulation isn't satisfactory, like maybe more gravity would make it look better, or something like that, but yes it does simulate.

    This is what I does for me during simulation. I tend to simulate over a timeline of from a pose. I think "stop" means "finish the stage you are currently working on, then stop". That can take a while.

    I'd be interested to know if others get an instant response, as I assumed it was just how it worked. I suppose I find it a little irritating, but it's not a huge issue in my case.

    I haven't tried using the timeline yet. If it wouldn't stop for 30 frames it would have my computer busy for several days.
