Query results returned so why is Query editor still 'Executing'?

    I've got a query that returns a result set but Query Editor is still in executing mode. No errors, and I can cancel exectuing query, my connection to database is active.

    What is the likely problem?

    It hasn't returned all the results?

    Often SSMS will start displaying results while the query is still running, especially if it's a large resultset.

    From SQL 2005 onwards, the query execution returns results batchwise which was available to view.
