Notification when disconnect from host via RSE and an editor window is open

There are two different behaviours of an open editor window when terminating RDz directly or when disconnecting from host via remote system view.

Scenario 1: termination RDz directly while a changed source is open in the editor
> there is a notification: <source> has been changed - do you want to save the changes? YES/NO/CANCEL
> depending on the answer the editor remains open or closes with/without saving the changes

Scenario 2: disconnecting the host connection via remote system view while a changed source is open in the editor
> the editor window closes without any notification
> at the next time to edit this source a local copy is available

The behaviour of the editor in scenario 2 is critical, because if another colleague has continued to work on the source and then i will start editing i will overwrite his changes with my local copy.

Therefore the editor should behave as in scenario 1, because both, terminating RDz and disconnecting from host, are intended actions of the user and should have the same result concerning an open editor window.
