Comment (by jscipione):

 Replying to [comment:9 axeld]:
 > And no, you cannot change QuitRequested() to return false in this case,
 as this would be a major API change, and, from the point of the developer,
 completely random behavior.

 Why can't I change BWindows's QuitRequested() method to return false? How
 is that a major API change, how is that completely random behavior? AFAIK
 the BWindow::QuitRequested() is allowed to return false to indicate that
 quit was cancelled and the caller is suppose to check the return value and
 respond appropriately (say by manually Quit()ing instead).

 I have looked at the BWindow quit and deconstruction code as well as the
 menu tracking code for several hours now and it is a bit hairy with a few
 hacks piled up over the years and I'm a bit reluctant to mess with it too
 much. I'm looking for the easiest way to solve this bug without breaking
 anything. The correct behavior, I think, is to cancel closing the window,
 but, if it is easier to close the menu instead I'll do that. So far I
 haven't found an easy way to do either.
