Description David Bailes 2016-11-28 07:03:58 UTC 
When the grid is the focus, pressing ESC does not cancel the dialog.

Work around: press shift+tab to move to the cancel button and press it.

This was caused by:

Comment 2 David Bailes 2016-11-28 09:10:28 UTC 
Changed the title of the bug since I've since discovered that whatever control is the focus, pressing Esc does not cancel the dialog.

Work around: tab to the cancel button and press it, and using (shift + )ctrl + tab to get quickly out of the grid if necessary.

Quicker work around is just to press alt + f4.

Added release note as David would like P3.

On iTunes on Mac Sierra, ESC when focus is in the tags grid and the cell closed (or anywhere else) dismisses the dialogue. If the grid cell is open, the first ESC closes the cell then the next ESC dismisses the dialogue. Isn't that the behavior we want for Metadata Editor and Labels Editor on all platforms? Labels Editor still follows those guidelines on Windows.

Yes.

Testing on W10 audacity-win-r0a0a9f6-2.1.3-alpha-25-feb-17

Esc dismisses the Metadata Editor - tested with focus on all the controls and on the table entries.

Looks to be fixed
