Add an "Are you sure?" question before an action is cancelled. Too many times I have had an action perfectly setup in NXT and ready to copy to 20 other records and I am just slightly over the cancel button rather than save and it cancels automatically without asking if I am sure.
See also the idea "In the action area, it would be great if Save and Cancel weren’t right beside each other." This is a web accessibility issue, in my opinion, for people who have fine dexterity issues
I agree! Or perhaps move the Cancel button to the other side of the dialogue box? It's too easy to 'Cancel' what you've been working on with one small mis-click.
