Apps quitting automatically

[Martin S Taylor]

If I use Pages or Numbers and close all the windows, the program
automatically quits when I switch to another program. This used to be seen as
a rather ungainly Windoze thing – when did Apple start doing it?

That's not happening with Pages here (version 13.0, Sonoma 14.3).

Nope, not for me! I had a quick look in System Settings to see if there's some
global setting causing the difference, but quickly gave up I'm afraid.
Sonoma's System Settings is not my happy place.

Not here, on an Intel iMac. Maybe it's a silicon thing?

There is a setting for it, somewhere. (IIRC)
Like 'Quit app when all windows are closed'.

Would have to search,

I did a search and were not able to find such a setting. In general one
big difference to Windows or Linux is that an application remains active
even when all windows are closed with the red button in the upper left
corner. That also applies to "command+w" which is equivalent. Only the
command "command+q" shuts an application down and ends its processes.

Nor here. Interesting question!
