Operating system: CentOS 7  
Slicer version: 4.10.2  
Expected behavior: Ctrl + W should clear the scene that I have loaded in Slicer.  
Actual behavior: Ctrl + W closes out of Slicer completely, instead of just closing the scene. Thank you!

It should just close the scene. Does this always happen? Have you installed any extensions?

I believe the issue was tied to the “GradQC” extension, and has since been resolved after discussing with the developer. Thank you, Andras.
