system menu to close the Resource Browser Window.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------

1. Open a project inside Visual WorkBench.

2. Open the .RC file for that project. This will open the Resource Browser
  window, which will contain all the resources.

3. Modify any resource you want.

4. Leave this modifed resource editor window open, and double-click the system
  menu of the Resource Browser Window. This just closes the window without
  saving the changes.
