The wording issue between "cancel" (action workflow) and button "cancel"
in a dialog box which users are accustomed to use to close the dialog
without any action being performed is critical. I had customers waist
hours because of this before they learned (on oerp 6.1) to distrust any
button with "cancel" as a label and use the "X" window button to close
such dialogs.

IMO, this issue cannot be solved by moving the "cancel" workflow action
to a different place : in some UI, the dialog cancel button is on the
left, in others it's on the right... The correct solution is rather to
use a different verb altogether for the workflow action. It must be
different from "cancel" (or "Annuler" in French) because these are
identified to do something different by users.

Possible english verbs include:

* void
* invalidate
* withdraw

Title:
  [Trunk/7.0] Naming issue on cancel button of project issue

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  In some cases, the next stages available  are "Done" and "Cancel".

  In this cases, when a user Edits the document, and then wishes to exit from edit mode without making changes, most of the time he will click "Cancel" instead of "Discard", which *saves the changes* and changes the State to "cancelled"!
  In the case of Project Issues, it's even worse, since you aren't offered with the option to reopen the issue.
