What it does
Fixes #12093
The about dialog in Theia is reopened and must no be disposed on close. This PR overrides the
onCloseRequest
method fromBaseWidget
to not invokedispose()
. In order to minimize impact for clients of the API, I've added an optional parameter to theopen()
method that controls whether the dialog is disposed when it is closed.This change might be breaking in the case where clients reuse dialog instances and do not rely on
open()
to show the dialog. In that case, they will have to dispose the dialog themselves now. That should be a very rare case, though.Contributed on behalf of STMicroelectronics
How to test
