The more I think on it. I agree with Rob Cresswell comment "While
clicking off the modal is relatively easy to do my accident, hitting Esc
or 'X' are fairly distinct actions."
While there is nothing wrong with warning the user that they will lose
data after they clicked the 'x' / 'esc'... That was a deliberate action
by them. So might be over engineering this.
My vote is to just keep it simple and go with changing the default
behavior to 'static'.

Hi Aaron,
The only way to combine 2 aforementioned solutions I've been thinking
of is to implement David's solution as the 4th option (in addition to
true|false|static) on a per-form basis, leaving the possibility to
change the default value in configs. I guess this sort of combining
would be as simple as just putting both patches together (perhaps,
changing a bit David's js-code for catching 'click' event - to work
only for the modal forms with [data-modal-backdrop='confirm']).

I would be happy with either the two proposed solutions (both
improvements over the what we have now).
Any thoughts on combining them? Only close if esc or 'x' is
clicked, but also warn them if data was entered.

+1 to changing the behaviour to 'static'. Modal inside a modal is
potentially slightly more useful, but looks messy and
inconsistent, which I think outweighs the functionality.

Hello, Horizoneers and UX-ers!
The default behavior of modals in Horizon (defined in turn by
Bootstrap defaults) regarding their closing is to simply close
the modal once user clicks somewhere outside of it (on the
backdrop element below and around the modal). This is not very
convenient for the modal forms containing a lot of input - when
it is closed without a warning all the data the user has already
provided is lost. Keeping this in mind, I've made a patch [1]
changing default Bootstrap 'modal_backdrop' parameter to
'static', which means that forms are not closed once the user
clicks on a backdrop, while it's still possible to close them by
pressing 'Esc' or clicking on the 'X' link at the top right
border of the form. Also the patch [1] allows to customize this
behavior (between 'true'-current one/'false' - no backdrop
element/'static') on a per-form basis.
What I didn't know at the moment I was uploading my patch is
that David Lyle had been working on a similar solution [2] some
time ago. It's a bit more elaborate than mine: if the user has
already filled some some inputs in the form, then a confirmation
dialog is shown, otherwise the form is silently dismissed as it
happens now.
The whole point of writing about this in the ML is to gather
opinions which approach is better:
* stick to the current behavior;
* change the default behavior to 'static';
* use the David's solution with confirmation dialog (once it'll
be rebased to the current codebase).
What do you think?

P.S. I remember that I promised to write this email a week ago,
but better late than never :).
