Is this normal behaviour? When a patcher is closed should textedit automatically output the text?

Here's a basic custom dialog that always outputs the text when closed whether I tell textedit to output or not.

Depends on the perspective. I think it is counter intuitive, and the reason is, as soon the focus is lost (also by clicking elsewhere) it will output the text. Closing the window is defocusing...

I guess the solution would be an additional attribute "defocus enters text" which could then be unchecked...

Here's my workaround, which should still work if that (wrong) behavior is corrected... (I prefer a gate, as the zl reg solution would not allow to enter the text after typing, which should close the window as well...)

Thanks for explaining that. I understand now. An option for not outputing when focus is lost would be useful. For the time being though, your solution works well. Thanks.
