Clicking outside the editor no longer works

In node-red@latest, I can no longer close the editor when I click outside the editor, now I have to click either cancel or done.
Can it be made to work again?

Request for feedback: Closing the Edit Dialog

A PR has been proposed to change a behaviour in the editor and I wanted to get wider feedback. Currently, if you have a node's edit dialog open, clicking outside of the dialog will close the dialog as if you had confirmed the changes. This is the behaviour we've had since the early days of Node-RED. Originally we treated a click outside the dialog as a 'cancel' - but we had complaints that it was then too easy to accidentally loose changes - so the current behaviour was set. The PR proposes…

There is a default shortcut of ctrl+esc you can use to close and discard changes and ctrl+enter to close and accept changes.

if you are are working on windows ctrl+esc will simply open the windows start menu (browser's are not allowed to take that shortcut) but you can change it in the settings to just be esc

Now more work than I'm used to.
I hate when clicks are added to clicks to clicks to get something done.

Maybe I should go back to a version that doesn't have it and stick with it.

@Frida this change was made in @next (4.1.0-beta.2) not @latest (4.0.9)

As a beta it's out there to get feedback on the changes prior to the final release.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We'll look at how we can improve for the final release.

Sorry, I'm using @next (4.1.0-beta.2) when I discovered it,
We always have reload before Deploy if we regret something.
