It's been a bug for a long time, as algodoo creates the attraction force from the center of an object. with a hollow object, the center is not inside the object, and with a quadratic attraction, there is an infinitely strong attraction at the center. Usualy, the circle could never get to the center, but now that it can, it will get flung an extreely far distance, hence making it dissapear

I find that kind of odd..
If something passes the center.. it booms away?

yea, since the attraction is infinitly strong at the center, it throws the object a realy long ways away.
