This is not bug, latex needs the \end for its environments, for
instance \end{document}.
The correct way to abort latex is to say \stop.
Of course, it is misleading if latex says
*
(Please type a command or say `\end')
*
if you press RETURN. BTW., it's not latex (the macro package) which
issues this message but tex (the program).
I doubt that this behavior can be easily changed, but at least this is
a well known problem.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
