byobu exits on exiting from F9 config interface

[Justin Coffman]

byobu completely exits (exits to shell if byobu was manually launched, or terminates SSH/login session if byobu was automatically launched on login) whenever you select "Exit" in the F9 configuration interface.

This has been confirmed on Fedora 28/29 (5.127), Arch Linux (5.127), and FreeBSD (5.127).

The issue does not occur on FreeBSD's currently-packaged version, 5.119, or on any Ubuntu release (which is 5.127 in cosmic).

I can confirm that this also happens on Ubuntu 19.04. Slightly frustrating, in that once F9 is pressed you can't escape losing that window.

Can confirm on openSuse as well:

byobu version 5.127
tmux 2.9

Very annoying, I lost a lot of unsaved changes because I accidentally pressed F1 instead of F2, and on quitting the help, it killed my session.

Same here on Ubuntu server 18.04
byobu version 5.125
tmux 2.9a

On host (macOS 10.14.6)
tmux 2.9a
byobu 5.129

Quitting the F1 (or Shift-F1) help windows kills the session and returns to the host.
