The number of time I've accidentally closed these little popup edit windows and lost all my changes is quite a lot, as often I'll want to jump to another application to copy and paste something, or check something, and the window then closes because they're background-dismissable..

Can these be made to only close by OK or Cancel?

@nminchin while I feel like this is not something that needs to be voted on since it is so obvious day to day, I have gone ahead and voted YES anyways.
