Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one. Also been launching VLC from a terminal lately and sometimes it also doesn't terminate cleanly that way. I close the VLC window, it disappears from system panel, but in the terminal window the prompt is not returned. Ctrl-c returns the prompt and VLC doesn't show up anymore in system monitor. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
