Today I deleted some content from the HTML pane and was humored to have this message pop up:
 
 
So "save the changes" actually means "go ahead and delete it", while "don't save it" actually means "I want to keep it".  Only a programmer would come up with language like this
 
Seriously though, that should be changed to an industry standard type that doesn't encourage mistakes nor require the user to read it 3 times and then click on one hoping they've interpreted it correctly.  Personally I don't believe it should even be mention that content was deleted, because you need to have a universal message that applies to ANY HTML changes, whether a line was added or deleted.  It should simply be something like:
 
"You made changes to the HTML pane, do you want to save those changes:
 
- Save Them
 
- Don't Save Them"
 
Thanks!

Hi David,
 
For most changes, the HTML pane saves automatically, without requiring a user confirmation.
To ensure that an accidental delete all, or an IQ bug, would not cause you to loose precious information, IQ show a delete confirmation in this sole situation.
 
As far as the wording, I can certainly change it...

Just my opinion, but I think the wording is descriptive and fine as it is.
