Description
OpenRCT2, v0.2.6-146-g619b06254 (619b062 on develop) provided by GitHub
Windows 7 (x86-64)
Already in the main menu, this is reproduceable.
| Menu | Can Close? |
|---|---|
| New game | can close with backspace |
| Load Game | cannot close with backspace (same for "save game" later) |
| Multiplayer Game | can close with backspace |
| Changelog (only when it auto-prompts after update) | cannot close with backspace |
Further I think it would be an improvement if you could close the console with the ESC key.
Thank you

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported Backspace behavior in the New Game, Load Game, Save Game, Multiplayer Game, and Changelog menus, then check the console's Escape behavior. Trace the shared top-most-window close handling and verify that all listed windows close consistently while the console responds to Escape.
