[Paraview] How to cancel Animation Save

[Michael Jackson]

So the issue is related to when you export an animation as a bunch of images and when the options dialog window comes up you change the resolution of the output image to some custom value which forces the rendering portion of the window to become smaller. What I did to work-around the issue is that I used the new "preview" mode of ParaView 5.5.0 to set the preview to 1920x1080, then did the export animation and the images are saved correctly. This is reproducible on several of my macOS machines here at work.

    Doesn't ring a bell, sorry. If it's fairly reproducible, please do
    report an issue with the steps to reproduce so we can track it down.

The reason I had to cancel was that the images being saved were corrupted with a "stitch line" both horizontally and vertically (Image attached). ParaView 5.4.1 did not do this. Thoughts? My video card inside my MacPro is a Radeon 7950 3GB card in a Mac Pro 5,1.

So how do I cancel the export? On my machine the export will take about 25 minutes so waiting for it to finish kind sucks. Force quitting seems to be the only obvious way to stop it. But then I lost my state (maybe having a backup state file somewhere might help recover from this).
