Post Force shutdown screen annoyance
Hi all,

I've been running 1.17 x64 for a few months now after upgrading to windows 7 ultimate from xp without any issues apart from one which can be a tad annoying at times: If, because of say an app with unsaved data, on shutdown/logoff I get the modal screen asking me to either "force shutdown/logoff" or "cancel" the latter does not work. I tried tinkering with some options or enabling/disabling plugins (I only run bbKeys and bbLeanBar anyhow) to no avail - is there some sort of workaround for this or should I just live with it?

Might as well give a shot at bumping this up in case someone has encountered this by now.

I think that I might have the same issue on Windows XP. At times the shutdown procedure is paused until I manually close ANY open applications, which can include seemingly harmless instances of notepad and explorer, but at other times they are all closed for me by the system. I never managed to solve it, so I decided to live with it.

I have had this issue for a long time and it seems related to Blackbox, but not to a particular version of it. Also, sometimes it was a blessing in disguise, when I forgot to save an important document before shutting down my PC.

Well that's the thing see: the cancel button doesn't work so I can't get back and save whatever document was open that caused the modal screen to come up in the first place.

Switching workspaces works for me when this bug crops up. The "Force" screen remains on the originating workspace, giving me a free desktop. bblean 1.17.1, 64-bit.
