[Python-apps-team] Bug#759508: mypaint: Mypaint does not ask confirmation for 'new' and silently drops current unsaved work

[George Shuklin]

Package: mypaint
Version: 1.1.0-3
Severity: normal

If something already drawn and unsaved, and user press 'new' or Ctrl-N, mypaint
silently replace current work with empty canvas.

This operation is irreversable and did not ask for confirmation. And is happily
discards all hard work by single misstype.

I think this is a bug. Mypaint should or ask confirmation to replace unsaved
work with empty canvas, or allow to undo 'new' operation.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start drawing something beautiful, spend half of hour of work
2. Accidentially press Ctrl-N
3. Feel frustration
