Description:
Pressing the "Esc" key does not act as a keyboard shortcut to leave the "Preferences" dialog or the "Model Options" dialog.

Escape is generally considered an accepted way of closing an active dialog, duplicating the effect of clicking "Cancel" and the omission of this feature may be unintended?  Escape already does close the "Diagram Properties and Size" dialog (for example).

How to repeat:
Create or open a model
Click Tools » Preferences
Press the "Esc" key on the keyboard.  The dialog does not close as you would expect it to.

This can also be repeated with a model open by navigating to the related dialog: Model » Model Options
