p/s I noticed a very long save-time, such that a message appeared saying it was saving. Usually, the save-time is so fast that this notification (that it is saving) isn't displayed for long, but this time it appeared for a long time. Then, after it finished saving, I wanted to quit, but the quit menu item was grayed out.
In the macOS dock, it did not give the message that "Application not responding", so it appeared normal. A few, long moments later, the Quit menu item stopped being grayed-out, and I was able to quit.
Attached is a log.
Version 17.1, beta 9
I haven't noticed this long save time, and long quit time in prior beta versions before this beta9.
