When I press escape, it of course, brings up the "Do you want to go to the main menu?" dialogue box. When I press escape again, it just flashes this box at me. Pressing escape again to close the main menu is, for me, a fundamental of good game design; that, and it's always been that way in games I've played, until now. Since closing the menu with the escape button is such an ingrained habit, while it sounds stupid, I end up pressing the escape button about five times, frustration growing, until I realize that I'm going to have to move the mouse all the way over to that little cancel button. I prefer keyboard shortcuts because I can press them so much faster than a virtual button with the mouse.
Also, I like to close a program with alt-f4, since so many games only have "Quit to main menu", resulting in having to wait for that menu to load before I can return to the desktop. However, with SC, it just summons the "Are you sure you want to return to the office?" dialogue box, which is annoying. I thought about posting this in the bugs section, but it's not a bug, exactly, just something in the area of user friendliness that could do with some improving.
