Because your method requires me to pull up each individual job and
cancel each individually.  Sometimes I'm highlighting a group of related
jobs and canceling those.  

On a related note:  
If you're doing a series of related jobs (e.g. multiple streams and/or
multiple copies) all started by one policy at the same time there's
usually a master job that can be canceled or suspended that will pass on
the cancel or suspend to all the rest of the related ones.   We didn't
realize it worked that way for a quite a while so got to see the most
interesting messages on resuming or restarting.  D'oh!

Instead of going to actions and cancel, why don't you all just right
click the one job you want to cancel and then choose cancel ( there is
not cancel all in a right click).

( I had to look up what you are talking about because I did not know
there was a cancel all, I just highlight the jobs I want to cancel and
right click)

Not that I've ever found.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves with design of NBU:
1)  They put it right next to the "Cancel Job" button.
2)  They use EXACTLY the same text when asking you to confirm cancel all
as they do when canceling a single job.  
3)  The highlight goes away so you are not sure you picked the correct
option unless you reselect it and don't let the mouse move a hair's
breadth.

What I always tell people is do NOT click Ok on the verification unless
the option you want was still highlighted right before it came up.

Most people do the cancel all at least once before they learn to pay
attention.   

IMHO if you have someone that does the cancel all on a regular basis
they should be fired for being too stupid to live.  Of course management
never does things that make sense.  I worked at a place where we had a
full NIS implementation with master and slave servers.   One putz
routinely pushed maps from the slave instead of the master causing
Production to stop in its tracks.  Instead of firing this bozo
management decided we shouldn't use NIS.   Let's hope your management
doesn't make a similarly enlightened decision regarding NBU.
