when I quit airtable app for mac the window goes blank (white) and hangs; I have to do a force quit to quit the app.  this happens every time.  this behavior began since I updated the app.

Airtable app ver 1.7.0

OS ver 26.6.1

 

Other functionality in the app is fine.  It just won’t shut down when I quit.  

Any suggestions?

I’m getting the same behavior, although I don’t need to force quit it. I can close the white window and then I can successfully choose “quit” again for a second time.

However, this is definitely a bug that was just introduced with the new version 1.7.0.

Be sure to report it to support@airtable.com, and hopefully they will be able to fix it as soon as possible!

I’m also seeing this- force quitting is the only thing that works for me to close the app, unfortunately.

@ScottWorld  - thanks for that workaround tip.  I don’t like to use force quit if at all possible.

Same issue for me, I rolled back to 1.6.6 and am just having to put up with Airtable asking me to upgrade every time. Hope they address this soon.

I reported this and they have already fixed it for the next update of the app to come soon.

I just noticed I get the hanging white screen if I also refresh the app after it sits for a while.
