Description Ignatzmice 2013-07-19 03:14:08 UTC 
The button to cancel edits and return to read mode is labeled "cancel"; clicking it brings up a dialog box with buttons "OK" and "cancel". Clicking *that* "cancel" cancels the cancel and returns to editing mode—not blatantly wrong, but confusing. Perhaps the first button should be renamed "discard edits" or similar?

Original thread: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback&oldid=564868353#Ambiguity_in_.22Are_you_sure_you_want_to_cancel.22_dialog.3F See also bug 47676, closed as WONTFIX.
Comment 1 This, that and the other (TTO) 2013-07-19 05:43:36 UTC 
The confirmation dialog should have more descriptive buttons, such as [Discard edits] [Continue editing], or [Leave editing mode] [Return to editing], etc.

For this to happen, it needs to become a jQuery dialog.

In fact, VE shouldn't use native confirm() dialogs; the implementation in most browsers is crappy.

Merging with bug 50955.
