"Warn on closing window with multiple tabs" doesn't work (in incognito mode)

Recently I accidentally closed incognito window in Opera, while trying to close MS Word. It didn't asked any questions. In settings "Warn on closing window with multiple tabs" is on. It works for non-incognito windows. But incognito windows are closed without warning.

Not sure, but that might be intentional. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

@burnout426 If this is intentional, why not make it user choice? If you accidentally close regular window, you can restore tabs through the history. With incognito window they are lost forever.

@leocg I need a confirmation dialog. And I cannot turn it on for incognito mode. They could add this setting or flag, not just assume everyone will not need it.

@ustin Here's a workaround for now. In the private window, always open the page https://maki-chan.de/preventclose.htm, click on the page, and don't close the tab. Then, whenever you try to close the window (or the tab specifically), you'll get a warning whether you want to leave the page or not. This should at least allow you to prevent accidental closure of the window.
You can bookmark that page to your start page if you want.

There's a flag at the URL
opera://flags/#incognito-clear-browsing-data-dialog-for-desktop, that seems like it'd do what you want. But, this Chromium flag doesn't seem to work in Opera for me. -
