Escape will not cancel Gen fill box

LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Gen fill dialog box (Apr 7 beta).

But the escape key is still disabled to cancel out of it. Is this intentional? I assumed it was a bug and was a quick fix.

    ​@robertw44482386 are you talking about the Gen Fill path from the top menu bar or the Gen Fill path via the CTB?  I am thinking you are talking about the menu bar, yes?  IF you make a selection, then go to Edit/Generative Fill, you see the new dialog and if you hit Escape key twice, the box does go away.

    This is on Mac, so let us know what OS you are on and if it is not working as expected.

      Thank you! Why in the WORLD did I not think of hitting it twice?

      Thanks again!

      Hi ​@robertw44482386 glad you approve of the new Gen Fill dialog box… you say the escape key is still disabled to cancel out of it, was it ever working, or could you share your workflow and what you would expect to happen if you hit the escape key, what state would you expect to return to?

      As per most dialog boxes, the escape key would dismiss it with no action, mimicking the cancel button. Is it intended not to work this way?
