How to cancel task?
Hello, I tried to cancel tasks which are not current and tried the following code. My expectation was, that the task will wait until the previous task is finished and if it is not current anymore, then it is canceled (From the docs: The task object will execute the function only once per virtual kernel and will only store one result per virtual kernel. When called multiple times, the previously started thread or asyncio task result will be ignored.)
So my expectation was, that if I click 10-times the button when running the task for the first time, some of the tasks will be canceled and the total number of runs will be smaller than the number of clicks. What I am doing wrong?
The code is shared as gist, since it does not run in pycafe, (however it works fine on local PC) and the URL generated by pycafe is too long

Thank you.
