Created attachment 6751 [details] Progress bar with "cancel" button (annuleren in Dutch)
Created attachment 6752 [details] Progress bar without cancel button
I first removed LibreOffice from the system, then installed it again with some extra's to be sure to have enough packages to install (39 in this case)
I think it's by design, you can cancel while the packages are being downloaded (though it's very responsive, but that's another issue), but you can't abort an update while it's being actual installed, because you might leave your RPM database in a broken state. That's just my understanding though, maybe cancelling during installation is also meant to be supported.
Actually, here a message might have been too big at one point, then pushed the other widgets to the south, making some being hidden after that stage
Though yes, only download can be canceled. It's shown at beginning of download then hidden at end of d/l
