Windows with the following structure:

Code: Select all

         Action
        Question?
 ---------      --------
| Confirm |    | Cancel |
 ---------      --------
1. Game Menu -> Reset interface position. Rest UI.
2. Game Menu -> Main Menu. Save and go back to main menu?
3. Game Menu -> Exit Game. Save and exit game?
4. Transmogrification Chest -> Use. Transmogrification Chest.
5. Auto-use talents. Automatic use.
6. Right click active talent to cancel. Talent name.
7. Level up screen -> Inscriptions. Inscriptions.
8. Load Game -> Select a save -> Delete. Delete savefile.
9. Characters vault -> Select a character -> Delete. Character.
10. Main Menu -> Exit. Quit.
11. Move to a Glowing chest tile -> Open the chest?

Windows with the following structure:

Code: Select all

         Action
        Question?
 --------      ---------
| Cancel |    | Confirm |
 --------      ---------
1. Attack -> target your character. Target yourself?
2. Create a character with the same name. Overwrite Character?
3. Main Menu -> Options -> Developer Mode. Developer Mode.

I think portals also show similar windows, but I don't remember how those looked like (temporal rift, the portal in the Tower in Last Hope, the portal in a place you get when you use a fake orb).

Edit. Added Glowing chest.

I think there's actually a reason for this, to some extent. Far as I can tell, if you just press enter to "confirm" a pop-up, it always takes the lower left option, rather than the lower-right option. So for more dangerous and "are you really sure you want to do this?"-options, it seems to be set in a position where auto-confirming won't bone you as hard. Just my thinking.

Off topic.
I could not answer earlier because I was on holidays. Sorry about that.
Back to topic.
You make a good point. I didn't think about it being intentional to be honest. Probably because I see this approach for the first time, and some tests where I had to go through a "dangerous" dialog several times (I kept selecting the wrong answer often after I got used to "normal" dialogs) led me to believe that there is something strange going on. Thanks for the explanation. I suppose the issue can be closed then.
