Nothing in the interface responds to anything

this isn't just a one-off, it happens all the time.  Or is it just me thats lucky enough to have found this?

I have the same problem. After some time I figure out a work around. Right click on the task bar and right click on AE and use the "Close Window" option. It stop the tracker and bring up the Save/Cancel window. I cancel and save my work, then work my way back to where it lost the track.

 

Tried everything but seems the stop on tracker is non responsive after 50 frame or so.

I use the escape key. Once or twice and it halts the tracking script. But still Adobe could fix this.

And keep it pressed a little. Do not hit the key too fast.
