Hi Johannes,

> What does "closes the module" mean?

Make the module disappear :-)
(either with "save changes and close window" or "do not save changes and
close windows")

> the only way to abort a module is via the window decoration

No. This impression might be result of my English :-)
Maybe it would be more understandable if it says:

If the user presses the "Cancel" button or the "Close" symbol in the
window decoration
the module will be closed.

> Functionality of "Cancel"

I think you made a good point:
The functionality currently described in the style guide does not
reflect the behavior in the majority of most modules :-(
Currently "Cancel" aborts the whole module regardless of the dialog
type. Maybe this does not reflect the most usable behavior but currently
it is  that way.

I would rather like to see a document which is so understandable that no
glossary is needed :-)

> For example what exactly is meant with an "abort" functionality?

Do not save changes and exit the module.



Cu,

Martin
