Platform:

Fixed In:

GciSoftBreak will not interrupt sleeping session

On Unix platforms, the GCI function GciSoftBreak() will interrupt a
sleeping session (using System>>sleep: or Delay>>wait).  But on Windows,
the session waits until the sleep is completed before responding to
the GciSoftBreak().

Workaround

Recode applications to use "restless sleep."
For example, instead of using:

    System sleep: 60.

use instead:

    1 to: 60 do: [:i | System sleep: 1 ].
