What's Wrong?
When the /status dialog is open and the Usage tab is selected, pressing ESC does not dismiss the dialog. The ESC key works correctly on the Status and Config tabs, but is unresponsive on the Usage tab despite the "Esc to cancel" hint shown at the bottom.
What Should Happen?
Pressing ESC should dismiss the /status dialog regardless of which tab (Status, Config, or Usage) is currently active.
