Summary	04142: Multiple escapes keypresses needed to exit MAME
Description	When using the Internal UI for MAME (i.e Starting mame from command prompt without any game name argument) - 3 ESC's are now required to completely leave MAME now. The first ESC gets rid of the "EMPTY" gamename chosen (that is a bug in itself) and goes to the normal startup of "(RANDOM)" The second ESC clears the screen to black and should exit MAME, but it sits there. The third ESC finally exit MAME properly.

In the game selector, "UI Cancel" works as "Clear Text" if current has a text (In case of default text "empty_", it's the same as pressed Backspace 5 times) So 1st pressed ESC clears text and replaces with "(random)". If non-text, ESC works as standard "Close Menu". In pacman, if you pressed ESC with opened UI menu, menu is closed but MAME doesn't exit. It is the same. After second ESC, only black screen. It means close the menu and return the "empty" game mode. So if you press TAB key, standart UI menu will appear in black screen. I guess the game selector is specified UI menu for the "game" called as "empty". And menu item "exit" may be "Menu Exit" not "MAME Exit".
