Sorry, but it feels there are two discussion mixed:

- if there is an unaccepted edit, it should not be lost, so we need a dialog, 
undo or history

- if you explicitly cancel an edit, there should not be a dialog, because you 
just said you want to cancel

Logic.

That is how I understand what Igor says, and that is also my opinion.
