914351 - Close gesture doesn't kill the browser

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

In 8.1 we aren't receiving the DefaultBrowserClosing event, so we don't call quit and end up getting suspended instead.

I worked on this for about a day before so I'll take this.

This is happening with chrome and IE too. Strange that it still happens on RTM though. I'll reach out to Microsoft.

I tried to listen to ICoreApplicationExit, but that's not hit on close gesture either.
The browser docs indicate we should be getting a Registered Message of DefaultBrowserClosing but no message is ever delivered. I verified with spy++.

So Linda from Microsoft got back to me and it turns out the Close Gesture we used in 8.0 is no longer valid.  To actually close any application in 8.1 you need to drag towards the bottom, and wait for the icon to flip, then let go.
