      If you go to:

      Firewall > Aliases > Ports > EDIT

      And say start editing a port aliases list, add a new port line, then change your mind and don't wish to save, there is no cancel option.

        In 2.2.* there were cancel buttons on a variety of pages, but also many pages did not have a cancel button - it was inconsistent.
        I remember there was some discussion about this for 2.3 a few months ago - whether to put a cancel button everywhere, or remove them everywhere. In the end they were removed. The user can just use the back button in the browser to go back to the previous page. That has the effect of cancelling the edit.

        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

          I personally miss the cancel button in generak.  Would be great to be able to hit cancel to undo any configuration changes, but still be on the same page.  Just my 2 cents.

            The cancel button never did what you describe, it did the same thing that hitting the back button does.

                A number of times I've looked for a cancel button too.  Think it would be nice even if it just does the same thing as back button.  Should be part of the app rather than having to find the browser back button.  Especially with so many diverse device types being used today.  Seems like an app provided cancel button would be easier on some of them.  Interact with the app interface , not the browser interface.
