Unclear It is not clear what puts the dialog into this Cancel-first mode.

What

The dialog that asks you to confirm a switch of model or effort level used to start with the confirm option selected. It now has a mode in which Cancel is selected first and the numbered shortcuts beside the options are hidden.

Why

In that mode, pressing Enter without looking cancels the switch instead of making it.
