Bug Report: In Vensim DSS 8.0.7, after initiating quit with unsaved changes, the "Cancel" button quits Vensim

Post by jrissman »

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Open any model in Vensim DSS 8.0.7 (Windows 64-bit).
2. Make a change, such as moving a variable to a different place on the screen.
3. Click the "X" button in the upper right corner, initiating a quit of Vensim.
4. A dialogue box appears, asking "Sketch [ModelName].mdl is modified - save changes?" The three options are: "Yes" "No" and "Cancel"
5. Click "Cancel". Vensim quits anyway, without saving changes.

In other words, the "Cancel" button works just like the "No" button.

The correct behavior is for the "Cancel" button to abort the quit operation, so Vensim doesn't quit (and changes remain unsaved).
