Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.9-1~exp1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I experienced the following already with some earlier aptitude version,
but with 0.6.9 I ran into it nearly everytime I use the interactive
mode:

While "q" still closes open tabs, it no more quits the program and hence
the only chance to save my changes (e.g. marking stuff as automatically
installed) is to make some changes which result in installing or
removing a packages so that the state is saved on "gg".

How to more or less reproduce:

I ran into it today by pressing "[", moving the marker to
sysvinit-utils, pressing "M" and then looking around some more with
"Enter", "d" and "r" and then suddenly "q" didn't prompt me anymore if I
want to quit aptitude but just did nothing in the last open tab.

Same counts for the "Quit Q" entry from the menu.
