%%%--- Operating System, Graphics card ---
W7 64b, Quadro 4000

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

r60154

- Short description of error ---

When you want add some node to node editor, you click on name and move mouse. But when you want cancel operation, you can press right mouse button or ESC. But node is still there. Normal behaviour is that when I press ESC my operation must be canceled and node deleted, but it still remain there. Another very tedious thing is, that my new canceled node is created on left side covered by panel. I know that it is not bug, but very strange behaviour without sense.

- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

%%%The operator you are cancelling when ESC/RMB is the node move (node.select actually).
This is no different than press E to extrude a face and cancel to decide later on where to move the new face to.

Ctrl+Z removes the recently added node.

@Lukas-132 any thoughts? I can look at implementing the suggested behaviour, but want to make sure it fits with your design first.%%%

%%%Yes, this would probably be a good change. Not sure how it could work in detail, the transform op is called by the add_node operator after main execute. The transform operators are the most generic (and hugely complex) operators in blender, it's probably not a good idea to shoehorn a "delete node on cancel" option into them. I'll have to check if we can get the actual return from the modal transform operator, such that if transform gets cancelled, the actual add_node operator deletes the node again.%%%
