Yes, it exits if it's on the main menu. Maybe just send a few more SDL_QUIT messages. This will still cancel logout if there's something that needs to be saved, but this is the way that all other OS X programs work so that's good.

Max: I wish I knew how to fix this, but I don't think I do. When using SDL, the menu isn't under my control. One thing I don't do correctly is that SDL_QUIT messages (which is probably what gets sent when the OS is trying to close) usually get translated into a "local quit" (like hitting escape) instead of a global shutdown. That's a bug. Does escape exit if it's on the main menu when you try to log out?

On the OS X version, you probably should change the way the program quits. Using the escape key is fine, but not having Apple+Q work probably is the cause of logout failure when you try to shut down your computer without quitting Escape. Normally, it will automatically quit all applications when you shut down, but Escape remains open and cancels logout until you quit it by pressing escape. If possible, you should also add the option to "Quit" under the menu that reads "Escape" at the top, in keeping form with all OS X programs.

i feel for you tom and and can understand your pain i've been through the kind of the same situation, just help yourself to realize that she is the one for you (which we all know at home) and that reaching out, and revealing your whole self will probably save this. its probably a murphy thing because feelings are hard to talk about for me too. so do what you can, maybe some flowers and diamonds(hehe)..perhaps a mini vacation. Good luck. we're all rooting for you at home.. xox g2g luv ya

MTV says it was the Cash Money Millionaires (who?). And it has been added to Oxford English Dictionary.

I just checked the newest windows version and 'u' does indeed work when dead. Make sure you don't have control, shift, or alt pressed (the game sometimes gets confused about these, so you might want to press and release them to reset its knowledge). If that doesn't work--well, what version does it show in the title bar? It should be 200507020.

But it is impossible not to read these sorts of things, good Tom. Be well.
 
I told you not to read it. ;)

And here I thought your worst laziness was not updating "Ask Dr Snoot" since September 2003.

But seriously... bummer.

I definitely think it is most desirable to have them linked (panels/teleports would be a total pain otherwise!), but I can see benefits for having an unlinked mode available. But I don't think this is a really high priority if it's hard to implement since there are probably much more pressing issues to address...

Okay, there will be a party to commemorate the 5 year anniversary when it rolls around. ;)

Bummer...

I read this too late to warn me for a same kind of experience the day before yesterday. In our case, my tiredness, not listening and not appreciating what she does enough were the cause of a row, which escalated. We nearly broke up, which is not a good thing to do when you're married and have a kid.
But we managed to get back together again and did a roadtrip to celebrate that.

Good luck, and I'm listening to your AAD right now...
