If it is only lagging - it can close.
If it is completely frozen, it SHOULD close, but if it doesn't, the stop button wouldn't work anyway.

But it can be used like so.

when green flag clicked
broadcast [go v]

INSERT STOP EXPLOIT HERE :: hat
broadcast [go v]    //As you can see, you can use the exploit to make a project never stop.

I don't think this post is talking about graphic effects being cleared when the stop sign is pressed (which is how the ghost trick for thumbnails works). That's a non-controversial feature used in many, many projects, so of course removing it would be a lot of trouble!

But I think this thread's just about the timer trick, where the timer continues past the stop sign being pressed, enabling projects to “resume” past apparently stopping? While it's a neat trick, it does feel like an exploit to me, and it's bad for accessibilty–just because there are workarounds to keep a project from running (like closing the tab) doesn't mean the stop sign shouldn't always do what it says it does.

I feel the solution of stopping the timer when the stop button is clicked is good and simple. (I think it would make sense to make it stop after “stop all” too, because then you can use the timer watcher (display) to show how quickly you can beat a game, and that would automatically stop when the game ends. Obviously using variables is more versatile, but it'd be handy for newer and learning Scratchers!)

edit: typos!

Um, how? Every browser I have used has had a way to delete a tab or go back. Can you give us an example, please?

I have seen a platformer that when stop sign clicked you can still play but it glitches and it annoys me so I have total support. I otherwise like the platformer. Ut it keeps going when stop sign clicked I think this workaround should be removdd

Because there are no other ways to stop a project. Nope, none at all.
