Description Len DiMaggio 2009-04-14 17:56:58 UTC 
I'm logging this as a bug initially, but it may be a feature request. In looking at the UI, the dialog boxes displayed by the UI provide an "OK" button to accept the action/input and a dialog closing "x" window element, but they don't include a "Cancel" button. Closing the dialog via the 'x" window performs the same function as a Cancel button, but the lack of an explicit Cancel button seems non-standard unless the dialog is is only intended to provide information.

We will review Guvnor look&feel and GUI consistency etc when Guvnor is moved away from GWTExt as we expect huge changes in GUI once this GWTExt work is done.
Comment 7 Anne-Louise Tangring 2011-09-13 17:43:47 UTC 
The GUI has changed with Drools 5.2 and if this is found in the new GUI a new issue will be openend for the new Drools version.
