Wendy, Thanks. Never heard that before or forgot it. Brian verified the problem with Escape and has sent it to the fix it pile.

I'm sorry you lost your work. Next time something like that happens, try pressing Ctrl-Z as your first step - the universal command to 'undo'.

Re: [LegacyUG] Pressing escape in Notes exited and lost my added typing
In Legacy version 7.5 and before, there was a warning Are you sure you want to exit YES or NO. A suggestion was made. CTRL-Z, avery good information.

Re: [LegacyUG] Pressing escape in Notes exited and lost my added typing
Confirmed. Problem report raised to have this fixed. I also found several other screens where the Escape Key closed the screen without warning and allowing the user to save their changes so I added those to the issue.

RE: [LegacyUG] Pressing escape in Notes exited and lost my added typing
There are three possibilities throughout v8 with the Exc key ... 1. Exit without warning 2. Exit with warning 3. Nothing Keyboard users need to use caution due to these inconsistencies and others like my favourite beef with tab orders in the various windows ... The mouse is safer which is really unfortunate ... I tend to be 50/50 mouse/keyboard which is fine in all apps except Legacy. C.G.
