Comment 1 Christoph Cullmann 2018-08-17 09:51:33 UTC 
That is actually not that correct.
Wheres we could define "untitled document with no text" as some case to skip that question, you still have stuff in your undo-buffer you will loose and some people will complain if we don't inform them in that case.
Therefore I think we want to keep this behavior.

Don't warn about unsaved changes when closing if blank and unsaved

In the case where the document is marked as modified, but is both blank
and unsaved, there's no reason to pester the user about unsaved changes
because there are no unsaved changes. So in this case, let's not bug
them about it.
