cancelling exit in pro+

[handrawn]

if I click cancel I get a loud, distracting and as far as I can see totally un-necessary beep through the computer sound system

is this supposed to happen, if so why ?

so far I have not experienced it anywhere else in the program

if it is supposed to happen here/elsewhere can I switch it off, in registry or wherever ?

just one accidental beep would be enough to mess up background audio processing and a lot of work..

Doesn't happen at all with me.

If I File > Exit or Alt-F-X, I don't get any prompt.
I get your pop-up with a heading Closing Document pressing Ctrl+F4. No beep.

What key presses or clicks get you to where this happens?

I usually [force of long standing habit] click on the x on the top right to close

if I have not done ctr+s first I get this dialog and then I get the beep if I hit cancel, admittedly this is not a sequence of avents likely to happen, I would at this point usually hit save or don't save, but if I have hit the x accidently I would click cancel [which is what it is there for ] then I get the beep

you need backup on exit disabled I think, or the dialog will not appear

confirm - it does not happen with ctrl+f4, only when pressing the x - glitch/bug then ?

Just tried with the red (X), sweet as a nut.

meaning no beep with the x, and backups not active - hum

I smell a gremlin - I wonder if it is windows - I'd better reboot the machine

[handrawn]

still the same - it definately comes out of the soundcard speakers - not the little internal beeper nobody seems to use anymore [which is a shame]

I suppose it could be trial specific...

as it is obviously a glitch and not intended i don't have to worry about it - limited to that button it's not going to get in the way for now

I'll put second copy on clean windows install to check idc

thanks again for the help

Here the same. If I will close an unsaved document with the red X and then push cancel I have a beep.
Close a tab and cancel – no beep.

It's not a bug, it's a feature – OR…????

[handrawn]

thanks ernie, at least it is not just me

I hope it is not a feature unless it can be switched off - why just on that button, it makes no sense ?

[ernie-f]

I agree totaly with you! Such a feature (if it's not a bug) needs nobody.
