Closing windows with dirty tabs

Open bencoman opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

A few times when I've gone to close a Calypso window and I get a dialog asking me if I want to discard changes, I get stuck trying to work out whether I want to or not. I experience a cognitive overload trying to identify which tab is being referenced (the star marker is small). Also the window is locked so I cannot change tabs to check what I want to do.

One option:

  • Close all non-dirty tabs to make it easier to focus on the non-dirty ones.
  • Don't block on the dialog, so if there are multiple dirty tabs can browse among them. But maybe block actions in top half of window that could create new tabs.
  • If the dialog is declined, maybe restore hidden windows - but that might be complicated and maybe not important anyway.
