*** Please type your report below this line ***
When editing the events of a persion, the "Event Reference Editor"
(called "EPR" in this report)
window is not modal to the "Person" window. Thus, the "Ok" button of the
"Person" window can be pressed and all the modifications done in the
"EPR" will be lost. This confusion is not at all unusuall, as when
editing events the "Gramps" window will already have 3 children dialog
("Gramps"->"Person"->"EVR"->"Date selection").

How to reproduce:
1.Create a person and double click on it to edit.
2.Add an event (Choose the "Events" tab, then click the "+" button on
the right.
3.Edit data in the "EVR" window that appears.
4.Click on the "Ok" button of the "Person" window. Notice that
everything newly edited in the "EVR" is lost.

This may be a "Will not fix", because making "EVR" modal to "Person"
will disable the posibility of editing multiple dates for a person in
the same time.
I suggest showing a "Save changes" dialog over the "EVR" when it is
being closed.
