anonymous_user Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I don't know if this is a bug, or if it's supposed to be like this, But when I'm running CCleaner and I'm analysing, cleaning or scanning for registry problems and I press the escape button, the whole program closes.

Moderators hazelnut Posted March 4, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 4, 2009 Pressing the escape keyboard key usually cancels or aborts the current operation.

anonymous_user Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Pressing the escape keyboard key usually cancels or aborts the current operation. Exactly, normally it should, but in this case it closes the whole program instead of just stopping the scan or stopping the cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 same here, just tried it and pressing Esc closes the whole program. I assume it should just abort the scan, wipe etc? Is it really a bug or a problem if it closes the program rather than just cancelling the current operation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom.B Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Well normally Escape takes you right out of a program rather than just aborting the current operation within the program. I'd say it's by design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous_user Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 I doubt it, pressing the escape button should only abort the current operation, not the whole program. In Notepad, Paint, Winamp, Firefox, name any program you want, the escape button doesn't shut down the entire program. I'd love to see a CCleaner official say something about this.

tornado Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 It's true, to close a program via the ESC key is not common at all within software design. But that is not stating whether it's a good factor or bad factor, just stating what is common practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I've just checked again and just loading CCleaner and then pressing Esc (without running any scan, wipe etc) closes the program. This must be quite unique. I've loaded a few programs on my computer and none of them except CCleaner close when Esc is pressed. It is indeed strange behaviour...

Tom.B Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Ahh.. I don't know where I was lead to believe that Esc closed programs . But then again I seldom use the Escape button for anything these days. I guess they figured Esc meant "escaping" from the program which is why it closes upon being pressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
