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 suggest that you make some kind of "glossary" about the exact meaning of the words which you use to describe the functionality of a dialog element and of the words which you use to label a dialog element (e.g. a button).
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.
