Exiting from an unchanged settings screen often gives an incorrect "Really close...?" message

In many settings screens, if you exit the screen without changing anything, you get a popup asking "Really close without saving settings?", even though there's no reason to save the (unchanged) settings.

In screens where this happens, it happens no matter whether you use Exit or RED (Exit, Cancel, etc) to exit the screen.

This also happens in settings screens reached in other ways reached through other ways than MENU>Setup, like EPG, MENU.

Whether it happens or not seems to be strongly associated with whether the screen contains any text or numeric entry widgets. Unchanged settings screens that don't have these widgets exit without giving the popup.

I have tested all the settings screens under MENU>Setup>System, and with only one exception, only the screens with text entries have this problem. The one exception was MENU>Setup>System>Time settings, which has a text entry box for the NTP Server, but does not have this problem.

Reproduction steps

Navigate to MENU>Setup>System>AV Setup>AV Settings, then press RED (Exit) or EXIT without changing any settings.

You then get the "Really close without saving settings?" popup.

I've set the reproducibility to Always, because for any screens where it does happen (like AV Settings), it will always happen for that screen.
