I can see in the ChangeLog.txt :

## v8.1.4
- Fix "Finish" handling.

No clue how to access this setting though...

OMG it's behind the pause button... Crazy if you ask me, please make that a separate visible button on the home screen...

What do you mean "behind" the pause button? My screen is two dimensional, I can't move the pause button, so I don't understand your meaning.

If you click on "Pause Folding" a dialog box comes up and asks if you want to immediately pause or finish the current WU and then pause. Some would consider that "behind" the button.

Funny way of looking at it, but not quite as weird as when someone says they're moving the date of a meeting "forwards", yet they're actually moving it backwards in time.

Actually that dialog box annoys me, since I shrink the browser window to have just enough room to show the 8 GPUs I run across 4 machines. For some reason the dialog appears off the window, and even worse I can't scroll to get to it. Centreing it on the browser window would make more sense.
