Description Tommi Komulainen 2003-01-10 11:43:37 UTC 
This is because of a change in gtk >= 2.1.x:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74221

I maybe just too used to the old behavior, but I find this new behavior
very annoying (I don't even recall ever actually clicking the Close button,
or pressing Alt-C.)

Now, the question is,
1) is this NOTABUG, or
2) can the Close button changed into a Cancel button, or
3) can we make ESC close the dialog anyway?

I wouldn't want to fight existing guidelines, but this one just feels
awkward.  But then again, it could be just me and my old habits.

Ideas?

I don't know much about the HIG, but I do use "Escape" to close Find
dialogs and the like. It's a pretty standard "I want to leave now" key.

Maybe it makes sense for Escape to initiate any Cancel actions if such
actions make sense, and just Close where there's nothing to roll back?

Apologies for spam... marking as GNOMEVER2.3 so it appears on the official GNOME
bug list :)
