Clicking 'x' on the 'Unsaved changes' dialog closes the file

Clicking 'x' on the dialog that appears when a project that has unsaved changes is being closed, currently closes the file entirely - without saving any changes.

I believe many people expect to being thrown back into a project upon clicking 'x', as (in my experience) in other software clicking 'x' on such dialogs works the same way as clicking 'Cancel'. It is annoying that in Fusion it's the opposite - it's equal to the 'Don't Save' button. Being used to safely pressing 'x', it has personally cost me a lot of work in Fusion being thrown away.

 

The 'Automatic save on close' can be enabled, but there are also times where users do not want changes to be saved.

 

What is the reasoning behind making 'x' functionally equal to 'Don't Save'?

I appreciate the swift response. Thank you very much!

I'm glad to hear it will be fixed soon and I apologise if this issue had been addressed here before. I did search, but couldn't find anything. I'll make sure to join Fusion Insider. I had no idea about its existence, so thanks for the heads-up!
