Description

I find it a bit confusing that the dialog box for inserting links in VE doesn't have a "X" or "Close" in the top left corner, even more so because of the fact that if you click on the same line (where you are adding the link) the dialog box doesn't close.

Also, other dialog boxes for inserting e.g. a template or a source have buttons to close them with.
