how to stop production?

Dumb question - can you "undo" a production order? Somehow I've got the landlocked Russian province of Kovel building a fleet. I won't say how ridiculous it is for this to even be possible. :) Don't know what I clicked, I just know I inadvertently clicked on the screen somewhere and this was the result. Just want to know how to undo it.

Redue the turn. [:D] You can try the back key to attempt an undue. It works for movement-maybe with builds too.

I would imagine everyone has done that at least once-accidentally starting production.

I did it recently by double clicking (no reason to double ) in the province list to go to the province. I went there and, with the second click, started to build something (improvement) that was ridiculous-like a level 5 fort in Timbukto.

Backspace didn't work for builds.  Well, it might, but if there are too many intervening orders it will eventually lose track.  Easy to undo moves, but eventually I start getting messages like "Undo *#@$)!_)~" and that's when I know I've hit the Wall.  BTW production on the fleet continues, the fleet is produced, and of course you can't sail it anywhere. :)  So I just disbanded it and am trying not to cry about the resources wasted.
 
Good to know I'm not alone, though! :)  Think maybe mine was a double-click, too.  No reason to do it, just my hands and fingers are getting older I guess. :)
