Bug 94879 [PropertiesDialog] [Preferences] Esc does not dismiss properties or preferences dialog
Reported: 2005-05-11 22:13:24 | Status: verified fixed

build I20050509-2010 - select a file in the Navigator and choose Properties - after looking at the properties, press Esc to dismiss the dialog - instead of dismissing the dialog, it clears the filter field - pressing Esc again dismisses it Same problem in the preferences dialog. This is unexpected behaviour. Esc is not normally used to clear a field. Esc within a dialog should dismiss it. Suggest not intercepting Esc, and just allowing backspace to clear the field (it's selected by default anyway).
