Hiding a Map View removes it from project without a warning.

Redmine category:gui

Creating an issue as asked in this thread:

https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2018-February/051830.html

Would be good to warn a user when he/she closes a mapview that it is not saved in the project anymore, something along the line of: "Note: if you close this view, it will not be saved in your project"

I think this remark:

is not related is it? I think that is about a problem about saving floating widgets?

I've investigated - unfortunately it's not possible to do this without gross hacks. Qt provides no way to intercept the close event for dock widgets selectively - so we can only trigger a message box on ALL closes (including unwanted events like those triggered by loading a new project, closing qgis). I think that's a step back in UX.
