Since 0.86, we have had a stop button always available on the main toolbar of every activity, making it easier and more obvious how to exit an activity. We've also changed the default behavior of the launcher to open the most recent instance of any activity, so to open multiple instances of the same activity takes a specific action on the part of the user. Since these two changes, we've seen a reduction in the problem you are describing. regards. -walter -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs <a href="http://www.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">http://www.sugarlabs.org</a> </blockquote></div> </div>
