Isn't that a bit odd? Shouldn't Cancel do exactly that: cancel the whole=20
operation? In my book, that also means rolling back all things that have be=
en=20
done before, so the user ends up in the same state as he was before he=20
initiated the action. Were cancel to work like this, "Skip" would be really=
=20
different from Cancel. Auto Skip may be disabled I think.
Just MHO, of course...
