Rescanning cannot be aborted by closing the GUI window #12596

   This is about Bitcoin Core 15.1 on Windows. I assume the same issue still exists in the latest version because I did not see anything about it in the change log.

   It is not possible to abort rescanning by closing the window using the “x” window button. If the “x” button is clicked the rescan does not terminate in any reasonable amount of time (I waited about a minute).

   Also, if bitcoind is run in a console window and the console window is closed with the “x” button during rescanning then the process crashes instead of shutting down gracefully. If I remember correctly it displays an assertion failure message box.

   In v16.0 this still does not work and pressing q does not help either.

   I cannot compile the project. I can wait for the next official release and test.

   Tested the latestest nightly. It now closes immediately. I tested the window “x” and the key “q”. I also tested bitcoind and closing the console window. All OK.
