&nbsp;In FinalBuilder, the "Edit Variables" dialog's behavior is confusing (at least to me). &nbsp;From a user's perspective, I expect that after I click "Add" and fill in the details for a variable and it appears in the list, that it's actually been saved. &nbsp;I would suggest that either:

- &nbsp;&nbsp;the list of variables is actually updated at this point, (though I can understand that if someone clicked "Cancel" they would might not expect any of their changes to be saved),&nbsp;or
- &nbsp;&nbsp;you should popup a&nbsp;warning dialog about saving your changes if you click the "close box"

Thanks.

Um… the way it works is standard windows behavior… clicking the X is the same as clicking on cancel on a modal dialog.
