Sorry, I misunderstood and thought that you meant that it happened while 
saving. I have to agree with you that this qualifies as a bug.

I'll also take this opportunity to express my opinion that for dialogs 
that pop up automatically, it should not be possible to close them by 
keystrokes. I've experienced this far to often in Windows and it is 
really frustrating to have an error message pop up while you're typing 
only to have it immediately dismissed because you happen to hit the 
magic key (space, return, y, etc.) at that moment.
