When I edit an entry and I forget to close that editing window, Keepas remains active and anyone accessing my pc could see all my pw.
If I am not in editing mode then the pgr will close as set to do so after a while.
This can easilly happen when needing a pw you'd forgotten and your busy doing something else on your device as keepass window may disapear behind another one.

Is there a way to allow for the second option "Save the database and lock" to be available on the condition that entry histories are available and thus it is possible to roll back changes to the database made for inadvertant changes? I believe the risk of saving unwanted changes is miniscule compared to the risk of database breach due to a sub dialogue being left open.

Unfortunately everyone has a different view on this.
At present we just have to try to remember to close the dialog.
