I think there has been an open issue somewhere about this for some time. When creating a Maniphest task via a Workboard modal, if you press ESC accidentally, changes are immediately lost. This is a potential patch that could use improvement or is at least ready for testing:

The idea here is that the main issue probably arises when a user has put forth a notable amount of effort with typing many words into a modal and accidentally presses ESC. So this checks for a keydown event. If no keydown event has occurred, then there is no confirmation like normal. Otherwise there is a confirmation before the modal closes.
The verbiage for the confirmation really ought to be changed to something else. Further, either me or someone else needs to look into how to implement internationalization for that text.
