Description isr81 2005-01-14 01:16:02 UTC 
When AutoSave and Prompt to Save options are selected, o popup Save dialog
appears in the desired time.
While typing, there is the risk to accidentally Save a file by pressing the
spacebar, while the window pops up suddenly.

I believe, there should be a small delay of about 1 second before the dialog
buttons become active, so as to become aware of the dialog box and stop typing.

Sorry for my persistence, but I believe that this issue is NOT a duplicate of
issue # 4333.

I am not talking about the lost key-strokes (which of course is an important
matter), but for the danger of accidental saving of a file, when the save prompt
pops up.

For example, if I am typing a word containing the 'y' character, or pressing the
spacebar, while the save dialog pops-up, the file will be saved, even if I don't
want it to.

My suggestion is that the dialog should pop up but remain inactive for some
time, so as the user notices it's presence and stops typing, to avoid accidental
saving. Of course, at this time of inactivity, buffering the characters can
cover issues such as # 4333.

please *see comment from as Thu Apr 29*

There will be a idle-check before the dialog will pop up.
