I can get Dropbox to show the Quit action. As Daniel said, having running processes indexed can cause you to have two objects for the the same app in the 1st pane. It seems you have to make sure you have the right one before trying to quit it. This is definitely a bug, so it needs fixing :) Seems like this is quite an important one for users, so I'll bump it up my priority list. > @Patrick: thanks a bunch for dealing with this.
