Today it's an imperfect world. While I find cranky apps might do better after a fresh boot, nothing I know of today will unfreeze an app that has failed.

well after sitting at my computer stressing i decided to practice to close a document to see if it saves or not. and when clicking on the word processor.. it opened up the document i had been doing on a new page without any problems allowing me to save it and close the other tab that failed to respond.
