Motors don't stop consistently when stopping script

In the web client, if I've inputted some autonomy in python, namely a while(true) loop, the robot itself would not stop driving when I stopped the script, even though the instructions claim that it should.

This is the code I used:

max_speed = 50 # percentage speed
while True:
  left_dist = mirte.getDistance('left')
  right_dist = mirte.getDistance('right')
  right_motor_speed = round(min(max(left_dist, 1), max_speed))
  left_motor_speed = round(min(max(right_dist, 1), max_speed))
  mirte.setMotorSpeed('right', right_motor_speed)
  mirte.setMotorSpeed('left', left_motor_speed)

Just to make sure I understand the scenario. In the web-interface you created this python code. Pressed 'play', and saw the robot move. Then after some time you pressed 'stop', but it did not stop?

Yes exactly. It didn't stop. But this doesn't happen all the time. Most of the time it does stop but I would say 20 % of the times it doesn't
