Escape doesn't stop sim`

My sim is running away.
Not even sure how it started. But it's going. And hitting escape doesn't stop it

Yeah, that's been an ongoing problem, but it's not happening consistently enough to figure out what's causing it to occur. It may be another open application breaking the ESC key for everything else (Photoshop is known to do that, so definitely close it if you happen to have it open), but I've tried turning various things off on my system when it's happened to me, with no luck. I think what we're going to do is try switching the stop key to something else and seeing if that solves it. Sebastian is skeptical that will work and thinks it's more likely to be an issue with the window focus, but at least we can narrow it down a little by trying that.
