This is a bug fix as ESC was never supposed to actually do that. I remember reading the same question on the battle net forums and a blue answered.

you use esc to get rid of the screen and deselct, for example you press b instead of v for building/advanced building, going back to the build menu

I just hotkey out of it but I can see why its kind of useful

will this change using escape to cancel unit/upgrade training? because i do that all the time if i pressed the wrong key or i want to cancel a building.

Oh man, that's annoying. I usually run into the same problem with feedback or graviton beam. Even when using escape, accidentally clicking something that cannot be gravitonned or feedbacked is annoying as hell...

Same here, I use ESC a lot : cancel units in production / larvae, and the other things the OP just stated.

Does anyone has a solution to get back everything pre 1.4 on this front ?

Oh no, just as I was getting to like this patch. I reflexively hit esc to cancel anything. If attack move is messed up this is going to really screw me over.

ESC is the hotkey for cancel. Orders such as move, inject larva, and attack cannot be cancelled, they have to be stopped (press S). The action typically needs to have a time for it to be cancelable, such as production of a building or unit, or a few [rare] abilities.

Fine, but if the queen is walking towards the hatchery to inject, it should be cancellable. And no, remapping stop action to the escape key is not a solution as that would require you to hit escape to stop moving, stop attacking, etc.

because I, and appearently many others, used to do it for over a year now, and it's always frustrating when features are taken out and you have to learn something new. (just imagine how often player who did this before will now press escape 2-3 times, wonder why nothing happens and then press s, which basically means loosing a lot of time)
