Title:
  [1.1.0] IDE: Abort/Stop function using stop hotkey might leave IDE in
  an inconsistent state --- workaround

Status in Sikuli:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  --- workaround ;-)
  if you observe strange behaviour of the IDE after having used the stop hotkey, currently the only solution is to stop and restart the IDE

  --- general advices
  - long running scripts and scripts that tend to hang or loop forever should be run from command line
  - use another IDE (NetBeans, Eclipse, ...)

  --- reset IDE without restart
  it is planned, to have a reset function in the IDE, that might help in these situations (resets the IDE to a state similar to that after startup)
  This would avoid the need to stop/restart the IDE in some situations.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  sikuli version: 1.0.1
  os:64bit, win7

  Step:
  1, Open the IDE.
  2, Edit the simple py script in IDE and save it. like this.
  for i in range(1,10000):
      print(i)
  3, Press the key:Alt+Shift+C to stop the running script.

  Expect result: The IDE will display normal and run the script again
  normally.

  Observer result:The IDE display normal, but you could not run the
  script successful again. It will back to the IDE UI immediately.

  Comments:
  I guess we would not force stop the running thread and it will call the jython.jar's thread.
  It will cause other phenomenon:It will not real stop the script successful, it will continue to execute the action when you press the stop function.

  I want to know how to stop the running script successful.
  Thanks for your help.
