This might be me but I am used to closing a modal I want to cancel by clicking outside of the modal.

When creating a bookmark, the modal does disappear when you click outside of it, however the bookmark is still being created or changed. This is not what I expected to happen.

Clicking the X or pressing ESC to close the modal does actually cancel the action.
