Encountered while trying to test Bug #1564

I don't see this on Linux.

Comment 4 Peter Sampson 2019-06-18 10:54:42 UTC

Testing on W10 with audacity-2.3.3-alpha-271-d84ab5948d544eec6ba6a648d76d31ef9d5edc88

This now appears to work properly
a) using the top right "X"
b) File > Exit
c) shortcut Ctrl+Q

I tested first with the basic default set of toolbars and then added the two non-default ones - test OK with both use cases
