There's still a problem though if the user leaves the field empty but still taps OK. In that case, as Dan is saying, the result returns "cancel", which is not correct.
I could be wrong, but it seems like this was brought up not too long ago and submitted as a bug. I believe the result should return empty if the user clicks on "OK". I'll see if I can find it in the QCC.
