Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

I'm not able to discard the save action while closing any modified buffer.

Specifications

Given I open a buffer
And I wrote any text
And I want to close modified buffer by Ctrl+Q
And Micro asks me to save changes (y/n) or discard (Esc) the action
When I press Esc in order to discard the action
Then Micro discards the close action
And moves the focus back to the original modified buffer.

Research direction

Reproduce the save prompt on Windows by opening a modified buffer, pressing Ctrl+Q, and then pressing Esc. Trace the handling of the save/discard prompt and verify that Esc cancels the close request, returns focus to the modified buffer, and leaves its changes intact.
