Description Andrew Ziem 2008-02-15 05:15:04 UTC 
It's too easy to lose a customized budget or report by pressing the close button.  The close button seems to mean "close Gnucash" or "show me another page," but instead it means "close my customized report/budget without second guessing me like everything else would."

So, I am suggesting either:
1. Relabel the button, and/or
2. Add a prompt to confirm the user's decision

Any suggestions for another label of this button, anyone?

Either
1. Change label to "close report" or "close page"
2. Add confirmation dialog

This is a duplicate of 629305 and patch provided there closes this issue too.
