When a modified buffer is killed through some mouse action, I get a ``yes-or-no-p'' question in form of a single submenu drawn on the screen, in the middle of the frame.

When I then click somewhere else in the frame (outside the menu), the adopted semantics are "no" rather than "quit". yes-or-no-p returns nil just as if "no" had been selected.

Verify this with the following code:

(print (progn
     (setq last-nonmenu-event nil)
     (yes-or-no-p "Save this buffer to file before closing window? ")
     )
       )

The expected behavior would be that a "quit" is carried out. Otherwise, users can lose changes to a file just because they did not hit the right "yes", or more likely, because they think they can cancel the operation by just clicking somewhere else. Cancelling the operation is exactly what standard GUIs do in such a situation, and it's a good behavior.
