Summary: The Stop render button doesn't.  

Initial Comment:
During long renders, the red 'stop render' button in the bottom right hand corner of the canvas is (sometimes) enabled.  Clicking it greys out the icon, but doesn't stop the render.  
The escape key is also alleged to stop a render, but does not seem to have any effect.  
Expectation is that for any render activity (to the screen or a file), the red button or escape key is operational and halts the render ASAP.  
Failing that, please document the current behaviour as expected.

And it should respond to the ESCAPE key.

I agree.

>What is that empty box on the right.

I think it is a progress bar.

The stop button is only enabled when you do View > Play, so I would say it
is only for that currently.

I think it should normally be a play button and then turn into a stop
button when you start playing.

I think there needs to be a cancel button in the status area while the
rendering is happening (and the right APIs added to libsynfig and all the
render targets).

The bottom of canvas windows need a bit of cleanup IMO: Current time box
is too big. What is that empty box on the right. Weird tiny overlaps and
stuff.
