2. Press ESCAPE multiple times to stop the page from loading

Actual Results:  
The page continues to load anyway.

Expected Results:  
The page should stop loading.

What is going on with this?  I've also tested Minefield, and it also has the same bug.

I think it is unacceptable that the Stop button does not abort loading a page.

I just tested this in Firefox 5, and the problem still happens.
When searching from the search bar, no problem, the stop button stops the search like it should.
But when typing in something into the address bar, pressing Enter to start a search, then immediately pressing ESC, it acts like it's stopping, but eventually loads the search page about half a second later.

This seems to be fixed now.
