When tabbing between open files in the editor, it's very easy to accidentally hit the close button. The dialog that pops up offers to save the file... but there's no way to cancel the operation if it wasn't intentional. A cancel button would be a nice addition to yes and no. :)

Added.

I'm not sure why close buttons on the tabs are really needed? Closing the page is only a right click away.

So is the option to hide them:
Editor Options -> Close buttons in notebook

Oops, I see it! But now that there's an Abort button on the save dialog, I think I'll keep the little buttons! :)

Best regards,
