LiveCode quits, but stays in Dock (OS X Yosemite) and shows as open

[Skip Kimpel]

It probably has nothing to do with your issue (but then again it might be related) but I have noticed on a Windows machine that if I don't use "Quit" to get out of the standalone and allow the user to just "x out" of the application, it stays running in the background and you have to go into task manager to kill the process.

Luckily I can see it as a process but it does not show up as a running program.

Coincidence?
