Then you should have titled your bug like this :) > >> I don't exactly see this as a bug. > If I click the close buton or the menu in my taskbar, it means I want > the program to close, no matter how many windows it has.

So not, it's not a bug, it's a feature, it was intended like this. Now if you disagree about the use of modal windows, it's another thing. I don't exactly like the modal windows, but tbh I could care more about this. I have quite some other stuff to care about, and I know mousepad stable isn't much maintained. There's a development branch being maintained, so maybe there's something to do there, but unless you provide a patch or deal with this upstream, I'm not sure it'll happen. Sorry but we're not much dealing with Xfce package and I prefer focus on more important stuff. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
