Irrelevant. The issue was quitting a single app. Logging out has
other considerations.
Luckily for this list, Apple and/or the application authors don't seem
capable of distinguishing between them, thus allowing for a new
on-topic digression!
And I don't care if *you* hate such behaviour,
What list/blog is this again?
That Safari just drops dead when you ask it to without even
giving the rest of us an option to ask back is hateful, period.
Absolutely, and to add even more juicy hate:
Firefox only cares about the number of tabs you have open, not whether
you have unsaved state. The right solution would be to save the tabs
you have open as a tab group and let you re-open them when you return,
and to track unsaved state and pop up a dialog if (for example) you
have an uncompleted form whether you're on multiple tabs or not.
And to complete the quadruple-header, Taboo doesn't drop down a dialog
when you may be losing data (which would make it behave like the rest
of the applications in the system) or make everything require a
double-click (which would make every application work the same way).
No, it makes Safari special. This is what audio-cock technology was
designed for.
