Richard,

I think these problems are bugzilla'd originally in 4994 and then also  
in 5362 (which is marked as a duplicate of 4994). However, the  
workaround does not work for me.

I don't normally either. Sorry about doing it here.

I have worked with others on this and the simple fix listed in the bug  
reports don't work so I don't think this forum would be conducive for  
the diagnosis. However, I would be delighted to share whatever fix we  
come up with.

That's the problem. If I am closing a window I successfully get  
prompted for the save and if I say YES then everything works  
correctly. However, if I say NO then it correctly doesn't save but  
blocks subsequent trappings for other open stack windows.
