ESC key is closing tool

(Posted on behalf of a user)

 

I select the Place Text tool and type text into the dialog box style text editor.

I then press the 'Esc' key intending to move focus away from the dialog box, so that pressing the 'Enter' key will display the pop-up key-in dialog.

Instead, pressing the 'Esc' key closes the dialog box text editor.

Why is this?
