#2995 interrupt and restart maxima USELESS

wxMaxima version: 13.4.0
Maxima version: 5.31.1
Maxima build date: 2013-09-24 09:49:12
Host type: i686-pc-mingw32
Lisp implementation type: GNU Common Lisp (GCL)
Lisp implementation version: GCL 2.6.8

for i:0 thru 1 step i do disp(i)

Running windows 7 home edition.
Just one of the infinite number of cases where interrupt TOTALLY USELESS as it usually is and also restart maxima TOTALLY USELESS
CAnnot do anything but start task manager and try to end the process. If it is part of a larger program file that is very difficult to do also
- usually only recourse is to pull the plug of computer !

This seems like a problem with wxMaxima. From a terminal, it's not problem to press Ctrl-C to interrupt maxima where I can recover.

What are you talking about " From a terminal ". I make a .wxmx or just .wxm file and the same thing. Interrupt certainly does not work and neither does restart maxima. The only way to stop atleast in windows 7 is ctrl-alt-delete and go to task manager and end it there.
(for i thru 2 step i-1 do disp(i) )

There is no way to stop even that simple example ! either as a .wxmx or .wxm either one. So you did not test windows 7 or just only with Linux ?
