t normally a bug, but rather a
point of view. NFS does the same thing.
However, you should be able to force quit without much problem -- (aka
kill -9) -- under the Apple Menu it's almost always available. Or can
be called up via "Command+Option+Escape." Or you can always kill it
ree, OroborOSX, Open Office, Gimp and similar tools -- if you want
"instant gratification," instead of building them yourself.
