Feature request: validation cancel button

[markb@…]

If you press the validate button without anything selected it will validate
the known universe which can take a long time - that's fine if you want to
validate everything but annoying if you really just wanted to validate a
small amount of stuff - so how about a button to cancel a running validate?

I also think the validate button should throw up a dialog box similar to when ways are being downloaded/uploaded and a cancel button that can cancel the process, I don't understand the JOSM framework enough at this point in time to be able to do this.

Whilst on Validate plugin dialog enhancements, casual users may not be aware that "ignoring" an error is doing so permanently. They may assume that they are ignoring errors in a one off validate or particular editing session.

That sounds like a different issue, not that this isn't a valid issue and should have a bug filed, but the issue reported in this ticket is to allow a person that clicked validate that takes a long time the ability to cancel the validation check
