Hi

Is it worth the effort I fill an issue for this GUI unmanaged behaviour:

Some dialogs don’t close on the same action. Namely **all** dialogs close **always** OK on `click-outside`, but `<pity>`never close`</pity>` on `Esc` key once another tab is selected, unless we click anywhere in it before. It is like the dialog looses focus on opening new tab. Although this focus loose seems to affect the `Esc` key only because then hitting `Tab` rises the focus to the next object (input field, link image…) in the dialog and then `Esc` works again. Guessed? I’m a keyboard fan, not a friend of rodents, so I’d like we get an homogeneous way everywhere with… `Esc`.

I seems dialogs are created with a default `closeOnEsc` attribute, but the tabs are not.

Thanks

You could file an issue, though I don’t think it will change anything. What is needed is someone to look into the code and find out what’s wrong, considering our old version of Angular in use.
