Closing the "project could not save" popup without having to save the project

The “project could not save” popup is annoying, especially since you can't close it without having to save the project. Here is the reason why there should be an option to close the “project could not save” popup without saving it:
Sometimes, the project autosaves. IT AUTOSAVES! There is a slim chance of a “project could not save” popup and you can have big trouble making/updating your project. This is because there is currently only one way to close the popup. Only one way. You have to save the project, by clicking the “try again” button, and this is the only way to close this annoying, intrusive popup. What if you save it but it doesn't save, especially when you try again a million times and it STILL DOESN'T WORK?! Please, for the sake of a few Scratchers, can you please, please add the ability to close this Scratcher-crazing popup?

It can not be closed because it is important to save your projects, and when it can't, it needs to annoy you into trying again or downloading it, which is the only two ways to save your work. If Scratch allowed it to be closed people may lose some work.

But sometimes, you can mess up and accidentally create a giant project-breaking bug. Being able to close the popup gives Scratchers the time to fix their project.

The Undo button exists, right click or press and hold.

By closing it you have to acknowledge that it's there first, so if you forget then that's entirely on you
