The stop button doesn't work when the target is a simulator. The only way to interrupt it is by ctrl-cing in the shell window that insight was started from. Quite confusing.
I can believe that this is because simulator targets are not async, but isn't there a way around this? Can't the insight windows at least catch a ctrl-c?
>How-To-Repeat:
create a program that runs in an endless loop
run it
try pressing the stop button -> nothing happens
hit ctrl-c / ctrl-break -> nothing happens

State-Changed-Why:
Control-C in almost every GUI environment means "copy". :-(
But simulators should work with the "stop" button if the simulator was properly written to do this. I recall having to hack several simulators some years ago to properly support this.
The stop button calls gdb's target_stop function. For most sims, this (eventually) calls sim_stop. Is this not implemented on your simulator?
