Last year I opened a gmail account because yahoo was doing a lot of really strange things. (Don't ask for specifics --my memory doesn't go back that far

. )
But I've kept the old yahoo account, and now it has a new trick. When I try to exit (big red x, upper right) it just sits there. So then I minimize it with the intention of closing it from the system tray. And it just sits there.
It will do this several days in a row, then get normal again, then return to wanting to hang around. A reboot is the only way to close it.
I'm not concerned, except that I'm told it's not healthy to shut the pc down with a program still running.
This is only happening with yahoo mail. Has anyone else had this experience?
