Ouch. That's unfortunate.

You cannot without changing the source code.

Yes. I've applied such a change.

To be honest, it won't solve the problem you had. The mouse clicked in
some random location where the Yes button was. Making "No" the default
button won't protect you against such a behaviour. It may protect you
from a "crazy" keyboard though, and it definitely is a saner default
button. But it won't protect you from a "crazy" mouse.

Anyway, thanks for noticing and reporting.
