The uncancellable issue happens with all T3 support factories buildable. It isnt unique to 3646, I checked with 3640 and this also exists. I dug into the code and found this comment from years ago.

-- Workaround for an apparent engine bug that appeared when engymod was deployed (by Rienzilla)
--
-- When we queue a t2 and t3 support factory (or, any upgrade, in which the upgrades
-- are not defined by the UpgradesTo and UpgradesFrom blueprint field, but by the
-- UpgradesFromBase field), and then cancel the t3 factory, the call to DecreaseBuildCountInQueue
-- will not only remove all t3 units queued, but also all t2 units, including the factory
--
-- Now if the factory was already in the process of being built when that happens, the
-- game crashes as soon as it finishes a unit that is not in its queue.
--
-- So, we override DecreaseBuildCountInQueue, and make t3 support factories uncancellable.
--

You cant cancel a T3 support factory upgrade from a T2 support using right click. (except using the stop/s key to stop everything)
(Not many people know this?)
So it goes that the build tab cant cancel it with right clicking. Its intentional i suppose.

Just ran another check and you still can not cancel a multiple T3 Air Plant build order, after the ACU lines them up, with a right-click.
You can cancel all other ACU build orders with a right-click.

Thanks for bringing back the "No Air" restriction, and also thanks for fixing the bug with Kernel drones.

When Air is restricted there is still a bug with the UEF Satellite ...it explodes as soon as it is built simular to what the kernel drones did before.

This is showing the fact that the AI does not reclaim. Normally by 20mins game time almost all props would be reclaimed.

I have noticed a few problems with the new patch.

1./ There is no 'No Air' restriction available. Only a 'No T3 Air' restriction.
2./ When the ACU lines up 3 T3 Air Plants to build you can not cancel any of them using right-click.
3./ The AI has lost the ability to reclaim resources ....it can now only reclaim to make room to build structures.
