Very interesting.  i never experienced the issue because I have never “checked” the option to Confirm exit.  For grins I tried the option and did generate an error that I ignored and then unchecked the option.

I am not sure I understand the need for the option? Kind of reminds me of Windows asking over and over if you really want to to that. HiHi
