Freeze after canceling an Open recent file operation

Issue #344 closed
Anastasia Baryshnikova created an issue

USE CASE: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

Cancel an Open recent file operation and return to the current matrix or welcome screen.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE AN ISSUE (OR TRIGGER A NEW FEATURE)

File > Open Recent... Choose any file and then click "Cancel" at the first window.

CURRENT BEHAVIOR

As soon as you click "Open Recent...", the screen is changed automatically to the grey "Setting up..." screen (whatever was on the screen before this, disappears). When you click "Cancel", a warning pops out ("Data loading was interrupted") and, after you dismiss it, no other operations are possible (e.g., can't open another file or return to work with the matrix that was open right before this).

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

The original matrix should be visible underneath the pop-up window at all times (just like it happens when you choose "Open..." instead of "Open Recent..."). When clicking "Cancel", the data loading interface should disappear (WITHOUT the additional warning) and the user should be able to return to work as usual.

    It appears that a portion of this issue was never resolved as mentioned under "expected behavior": 'When clicking "Cancel", the data loading interface should disappear (WITHOUT the additional warning) and the user should be able to return to work as usual.'

    I am re-opening this issue. If the fix exists, but it just hasn't been submitted as a pull request, please re-resolve the issue and submit the PR.
