Description
In wp-admin/index.php one clicks "Cancel" on an item. This causes four
HTTP GETs
wp-admin/index.php wp-admin/index-extra.php?jax=dashboard_plugins wp-admin/index-extra.php?jax=dashboard_secondary wp-admin/index-extra.php?jax=dashboard_primary
but apparently the item is still there.
So cancel apparently means just canceling editing this item, not
canceling the item. Therefore you at least need a tooltip balloon.
(Apparently really cancelling it for good entails a click in "screen options".)
(Also some might get a kick out of the hyperlinks that only appear when the mouse is on top of them,
but you are making older users have to mouseover everything looking for hidden links.)

Just to clarify that jidanni was talking about the configurable meta boxes on the dashboard, such as the Incoming Links box.
Behaviour reported in the ticket is expected. Removing a meta box is done via the Screen Options menu which is consistent behaviour.
To get to the "Cancel" you'll first have to click on "Configure". Also it reloads the page, that's why the feeds are updated. Still the "Cancel" could be moved next to the "Submit" so it's clearer it applies to the configuration.
