I don't go for the "way to take control" mantra, if it becomes a habit just because the batter doesn't like F1 using the time she is permitted.
That said:
If the batter steps out, and F1 is hands-together, we're probably playing on (if batter has established the aforementioned "habit")
If F1 stops her action due to (in my judgement) batter stepping out, I'll stop things there, and constructively inform F1 not to stop action unless I personally tell her to. No IP there.
If the "step out" occurs near the end of F1's allotted time, and we continue past, we can still have the IP.
Never had that happen, though.
