By mistake I clicked on the system icon (in the upper left corner of the frame of the main window) when I meant to click File. So I clicked File next, but AD just quit. It did not post any message, so it probably did not crash, just quit for some strange reason.

 

Puzzled, I then restarted, created a new file, added something to it, and clicked on that system icon twice, just to see what happens. AD asked me if I wanted to save the file, and when I said no, it quit.

 

I loaded AD again, and this time went straight for the system icon. I clicked on it twice, making sure during the second click I was not mistakenly clicking on the menu choice to close the application, but still on the icon. It quit.

 

This is not standard Windows application behavior. Looks like a bug to me.

Hi Adam,

It is general Windows behaviour to close the application when clicking the icon twice. If you go into Notepad or Windows Explorer and do the same with that it will also close the app. This is why you got the prompt to save your document.

It is general Windows behaviour to close the application when double-clicking the icon. Two single clicks should not close it, and two single clicks do not close Affinity Designer on Windows beta build 1.5.0.17 (or Notepad, or File Explorer or anything else) here.
