Clicking Escape while editing a properly in an input dialog closes the dialog

[gman-r]

I'm not sure if this is new or existing behavior(I have been away from fusion for a bit), but when editing parameters in any of the input dialog, even something like "change parameters", pressing the escape key immediate cancel the dialog. Loosing any of the other properties that have been set up.

It is normal UI practice that in a dialog, when and input field such as a text entry field has focus and in edit mode, hitting escape first cancels the edit on this field at which point hitting escape again might close the dialog. The current behavior means that if you click on a text field to change its value, clicking escape immediately aborts the whole operation instead of just aborting the text edit and reverting it to its previous value.  This cause frequent redo such reselecting a bunch of items.

I am fairly certain that this behavior has not changed in years.  ESC in any dialog will cancel that command, and I'm pretty sure that has always been the case in Fusion.  There is no contextual ESC behavior that I am aware of in individual text fields.

Ok. It seems my fusion was also in some other funky state where it was not handling the escape key properly in general. After restarting I see the correct behavior in the Modify parameters dialog, but yes still the bad behavior in the other dialogs. I guess this falls under works as designed right now, but if you see the behavior in the modify parameters dialog which once you double click on a value to change it, escape first cancels the edit. That is the what should be done especially in a window where you might have spent time selecting and entering many options.
