After right-clicking a newsgroup and selecting Properties -> Offline -> Download
now, pressing the cancel button has no effect on the download (it just
continues) and the stop button is disabled. There is no way to terminate a
download without closing Thunderbird.
This bug also concerns SeaMonkey. Should the Product field be changed to Core?

I'm not at all familiar with the Stop functionality. Looking at the code, the Stop command seems to result in these statements:

  nsCOMPtr<nsIWebNavigation> webnav(do_QueryReferent(mRootDocShellWeak));
  return webnav ? webnav->Stop(nsIWebNavigation::STOP_NETWORK) : NS_ERROR_FAILURE;

which looks to me like it only is designed for browser use - and is in C++ (that is backend) code. So backend is as good as any at this point.
Severity: normal → S3
