I have Ubuntu 10.04 (should be up-to-date) and this is what happens with gnome-terminal:
1. gedit 2. Close terminal with the close button on the title bar (or close the corresponding tab). -> A dialog opens saying "Close this terminal? There is still a process running in this terminal. Closing the terminal will kill it." Both "Cancel" and "Close Terminal" buttons work as expected. 1. gedit & 2. exit -> Terminal (or the corresponding tab) closes but gedit keeps running. 1. gedit & 2. Close terminal with the close button on the title bar (or close the corresponding tab). -> Both terminal and gedit die without any warning or question. Any unsaved data will be lost. I used gedit as an example, but it seems that same things happen with other programs, too (I tested with e.g. emacs, firefox, kile and xdvi). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/819842 Title: Commands in the background are terminated after closing the terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/819842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
