The steps:

With the dvdrip window open, I pressed Ctrl-A. The "About" window pops open as expected. Then I clicked the close button.

What I expected to happen:

The about window to close.

What actually happened:

The about window stayed open despite the fact that the close button was being clearly clicked many times.

Aside:

I think this is a trivial problem that can be solved quickly.

Ok, after some searching through the code, the file Main.pm lines #998-1026 are where the code for the about dialog box is setup however it does not seem to be responsible for closing the menu. I will continue searching. I am fluent in other languages but perl not so much. I would appreciate somebody else that is a better perl programmer taking a look at this.

Changing the:

    $about->show;

With:

    $about->run;
    $about->destroy;

Should do. Can you test and report?
