In Xojo 2015r1, I was not able to cancel the compilation using `cmd-.`

You may say:

a. The current Xojo version is 2016r2.1 !  
and you will be right. BUT, this is my working version (I do not upgraded to be current), so I cannot make test with current.

b. Why don’t you click in the `Cancel` button ?  
Because the compile is so fast that I do not have time to move the cursor there.

Question: is it still the case ?

If so, can someone make a bug report ?
