Capability to Cancel a Page Preview query in progress

When working in report studio, in the upper right, the author has a choice of working in three different page modes: page design, page preview and page structure. When in page preview mode, sometimes after making an edit, the query can take a long time to run. This can be a bad sign that the author did something wrong. We don't have a way to cancel that query. All we can do is close the browser and start again. re: TS004490919

    Hello, I think that it's a huge return to back with this new version. All of the users in our company use the Preview mode when creating new report and It's very annoying to wait without the possibility to cancel the execution. Often we add a bad column to the report and we have now no possibility except waiting or contacting DBA to kill the task. Also, now when running the screen is blocked without running message and users think that the report is blocked then they call the helpdesk. I hope this feature will come back as soon as possible.

    This is not currently on our roadmap for the next 12-18 month. However, the idea is available for people to vote. The status will be updated accordingly if more customers are requesting it.
