Hi,

this dialogue is a bit ambiguous.

It displays

[Close] [Continue editing]

if a user already made all correct settings, a user could get the
impression that [Close] is for saving and closing.

IMO it would be way more intuitive to understand, if the dialogue would
show

[Cancel] [Save] [Continue editing]

even better

[Close without saving] [Save and close] [Continue editing]

Similar to the latter is displayed, when leaving BIOS settings of
almost all mobos, if not all.

You might have noticed that the user interfaces of software for
airplains and military gear differs a lot to almost all FLOSS software,
since it's better to make a GUI idiot prove, than the likeliness of a
serious accident, just because the user is missing something.

Regards,
Ralf
