Scoff, harrrumph.  Ok.  I see.  
I've tried that in the past:
Fix Model
..Feature 
...Confirm
....Insert Mode
shows Insert Mode Menu Manager with available choices of

        Cancel and Return.  No Activate.

The reason there is no Activate is because I am working
with Insert Mode Activated when the feature failure occurs. 
The 'trick' is to Cancel Insert Mode.  The model tries to 
regen and cycles back to Resolve Mode and THEN I can, once 
more Fix Model, Feature, ...

I don't dread Resolve Mode.  Very rarely do I meet with
frustration after ... Clip Suppress, take a break, come 
back and sort it out.  Is that what you mean by 'back door'?
