The ​new pull request can land if we can get core to fix the problem where native events don't carry properties over properly when bubbling (see pull request for details).

Dialog: Before handling escape key presses, check if the default action has been prevented. Fixes #6966 - Pressing ESC on dialog when 2 dialogs are open closes both dialogs.

This is not applied in the latest 1-8-stable tree. Why? It seems a pure bug fix and something that just bit me. The fix seems to be trivial to include in the 1-8-stable branch.

Here is a pull request for 1-8-stable with the patch backported: ​https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/pull/415

Thanks andreaspelme. The reason it wasn't included in 1-8-stable is because it didn't merge cleanly. Because some widgets are vastly different in 1-8-stable and master, if a non-blocker bug fix doesn't merge into 1-8-stable cleanly, we simply ignore it in favor of spending time working on master to get 1.9 out the door faster. We're always willing to accept patches to fix 1-8-stable from the community in these cases, so thanks for taking the time :-)
