About the click out of the dialog to Cancel, as a user nobody told me about it and I don't remember about the first time, so I guess it was not a traumatic change. I didn't even notice there are no Cancel buttons anymore!

as a user I would expect the presence of a big fat X in the top right to also act as a close button for a dialog.

(since you also seem to be using that location for "back" as well the user will expect it soon enough)

I can't test at the moment but if you click the big X (which is actually for the test form and not the dialog) does the dialog close and then the test form?

if so, thats a major problem for the UI, if not its still disconcerting because the user will close the dialog using the artifact of UI from behind.

Personally I prefer giving people a clear way to (cancel/close/dismiss/do nothing) on actual dialogs, that way there is none of this. (at the same time I am even more guilty because I can make screens with no ui at all )
