Tried to close and I get a End Task dialog. If I cancel, it still stays hung and then without warning crashes and returns to the Desktop. I want to go back to 3.0.11 if I could until this issue is fixed.

Given the download and save to dialog box and continued with the saving of the file, while I browse another file or page.
