Sure, my point is there are multiple issues going on and hoping to keep
these separate rather than get conflated into "Ctrl+C doesn't work!"

The original bug pointed to in this thread, #44470 is about Ctrl+C after
calling the pause() function on Windows.

The feature of not being able to interrupt the pager is separate and
should not be confused as another example of #44470.

The race condition you show with plotting may be a separate issue that
could be looked into, interrupting while the plotting thread is working.

None of which are really "help" topics anymore.
