It's a bug, fixed in 3652.

Right click anywhere else, it's faster than pressing Esc

If you have selected units, left click to deselect them
if you have selected order, right click to deselect it

I always use(d) "S". It stops TML that had not launched yet. So...

To stop an action, press "S". Unless it is assigned to hotbuilding, your action should stop its process. To deselect a unit, just click anywhere else. I played like that all the time.

just click anywhere else doesn't work when you have pressed the fire toggle on a TML.

The ESC key was logical and practical (why would I need to waste the S key on that ? ).
Maybe there's a good reason it's gone, but I have no idea what that might be.
