#81 mlterm windows does not close until it receives a keypress

[pathetic-lynx]

When I try to close mlterm (either using CTRL+D or typing exit) the window does not close until I hit any key. It stays visible for an indefinite amount of time until it receives a keypress.

I appended the strace, maybe it helps you, let me know if you need more information. (strace was recorded with my config but the bug is also present when using the default config)
I am on wayland (sway).

When setting the daemon_mode to blend or genuine, attempting to close one terminal freezes all mlterm windows and makes opening a new instance impossible until I killall mlterm

Thanks.
I think that http://mlterm.sf.net/mlterm-3.8.8-fixes.patch fixes this problem.

Unfortunately I cannot test it, because the binary produced by the build process SEGFAULTs on startup. Any idea why? (it was like this before the patch)

Hi,

What option do you specified to ./configure script ?
Which environment do you build and run ?
Does mlterm start or not if you remove files in ~/.mlterm ?

Then, please test as follows and send me the result of it.

$ gdb /foo/bar/mlterm (the binary produced by the build process)

run

I re-downloaded 3.8.8, didn't pass anything to configure and built mlterm again. This time it starts without any problem. The problem still persists (I applied the patch before building).

uname -a: Linux shell 5.3.4-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 5 13:44:11 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Oh I forgot, removing .mlterm does not change anything either

Havent used mlterm in a while, but the bug is no longer present as of 3.8.9.
You can close this
