Description Ross Burton 2007-09-04 08:58:50 UTC 
[from http://bugs.debian.org/392124]

when meld is closed with unsaved changes, there's a nice dialog asking
which files should be saved.  But IMO the button labelling could be
improved: it's not immediately clear that "Quit" means "Quit and discard
changes", while "OK" means "Quit and save selected files".  And actually
it's not that clear either that "Cancel" means "Don't quit".  

The user shouldn't stumble here and have to think twice about it, but
just be able to immediately grasp the meaning and continue.

The options in Meld's quit dialog have been renamed to the clearer "Quit without saving" and "Save selected". "Cancel" remains the same, but its meaning is consistent with how it is used in other applications. The fix is in the current stable release. Thank you for your bug report.
