You're both welcome. And @robtain, I've also found that "Quit" sometimes works. Just not always. :)

Any permanant fix?

Thanks! This also seemed to solve an issue I had with imagent hogging my CPU and bringing my machine to a crawl.

it worked here! Thanks :)

Hmmm . . . . I've seen this solution a few times. But it doesn't work for me.

amazing...thank you.

I found that "Quit" will suffice. You don't even have to "Force Quit"

But the solution works. Thanks for the video.
