Cancel behavior: > "Close the Options dialog and discard all changes done." Currently, clicking Cancel leaves live preview changes permanently applied instead of discarding them. 2. Cancel as the official fallback: > "Some options cannot be reset once edited. Either edit back the changes > manually or click Cancel and reopen the Options dialog." The docs explicitly instruct users to click Cancel to abandon unconfirmed changes and restore initial settings. 3. Reset behavior: > "Resets changes made to the current tab to those applicable when this dialog > was opened." Live preview is an excellent feature, but if clicking Cancel/Reset cannot roll back previewed changes, temporary preview effectively turns into an unconfirmed permanent change. Since the documentation explicitly specifies that Cancel should discard all changes made during the session, this discrepancy between actual and documented behavior makes it a valid bug rather than NAB. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
