Perhaps I missed something, but I was thinking you made this patch to stop the DRC when clicking the
Cancel button in progress bar dialog.

Without you patch, the cancel button must be clicked during the track test (stopping it) and the
zone fill (stopping it, this is a second dialog)

With the patch + my change, only one click stops the DRC (the  progress bar dialog is not recreated).
Calling Show() does not change the behavior.
Previously, the progress bar dialog was existing, but just not visible.

Is it not what you are expecting with you patch?
