Description
Currently, hitting Cancel in windows will often silently discard any changes that have been made to the configuration in the respective context, even if those were made in some sub-window (e.g., parsers).
It would be neat to have an option (that could be enabled or disabled via setting) to warn users about unsaved changes if they hit Cancel.

Research direction
Trace the Cancel handlers in the configuration windows, including parser sub-windows, and find the settings entry point for a user-toggleable warning. Done means unsaved changes are detected before Cancel discards them, the warning can be enabled or disabled, and the behavior is consistent across the affected windows.
