Thanks for the report. Other users already also reported it, and it's 
fixed in our dvpt trunk. The next nightly build (tomorrow morning UTC) 
will include this fix (among others).

We also received other complaints from users about this dialog, and on 
the general behavior to exit the QTC receiving dialog.

Olivier introduced this QTC dialog maybe 6 or 7 years ago (v2.1.6 !) and 
we haven't got any report on that "issue" since, except this year ;-) 
It would require a different program workflow, but it looks feasible. 
Wording can be adapted too, on this occasion.
