yeah, that 'Save' dialog is wiered - and annoying
it's even mentioned somewhere in the documentation that you have to press 'Cancel' when you mean 'No', same as you found out the hard way...

the rtfm-argument doesn't count in this context, as THAT type of dialog should be totally self explanatory today.

Btw M$ Word comes up with a similiar idiotic thing when you started with a pure text document and don't want to save it in the app's native format - it gets real bitchy about then.
According to my experience half of all 'Office newbies' lose (at least) a couple of work hours due to it...

cheers, Tom

hi tom,
thank you very much for your help!

...yes, this is a very stupid "feature"!

It's not that stupid if you use the keyboard. Want to ignore every sfp message? Hit escape, it's 10x faster than looking on where to click.

Counterparts,

I have the same problem you do. It started happening recently and didn't happen before. I wonder what this could be.
