I had this problem in the template tester dialog. Solved it by checking key presses for the ESC key.

    def keyPressEvent(self, ev):
        if ev.key() == Qt.Key.Key_Escape:
            # Check about ESC to avoid killing the dialog by mistake
            if self.textbox.toPlainText() != self.original_text:
                r = question_dialog(self, _('Discard changes?'),
                      _('Do you really want to close this dialog, discarding any changes?'))
                if not r:
                    return
        QDialog.keyPressEvent(self, ev)
