Exception handler denies following its advice #9
Description
The DefaultExceptionHandler prints a message advising the user to "Try to save circuit(s)" before immediately closing the program. By exiting automatically, the user has no opportunity to save the circuit(s), meaning that either
a) the suggestion is telling the user to do something they shouldn't or
b) the error is preventing the user from doing something they should
Either the advice should be removed from the error so that users aren't given false hope, or the error should not immediately close the application, giving them an opportunity to follow the advice.
// otherwise show message and quit
