When in 'building' mode and you hit the escape button, first stop the 'building' session before showing the main menu.

I bought the game 2 days ago and I love it....accept, like 99 million times I hit the escape button during 'building' session. Because I wanted to stop the building and place back the item in the box window at the bottom (don't know how to call it yet sorry). But instead of cancelling the building I opened the main menu. In all other building games does the escape button the same. Yess you are different, but we users are dumb :D

Did you tried to press "Q"?
Did you have a look into the control-config?

IMO Esc should only cancel build session if no detail window is open, otherwise it would get difficult when pulling items out of one detail window to put in another (currently I can pick item, press Esc to close window, open another window and place the item, which is still in cursor, in to its inventory or request slots).

This would be an acceptable solution. For me as a newbie I see the main menu too often :D

You never need to press ESC in game.

No I don't need to press it, but in Rollercoaster Tycoon / Open TTD / Anno 1602....etc you CAN without the main menu being toggled.
It's not only what you need to do, but also what the 'users' expect that happens. If in 99% of the games the ESC button just closes the building mode then 1% of games have an anoying 'feature' :roll: :geek:
