Description Jorge Peixoto de Morais Neto 2007-06-26 12:33:05 UTC
Hi. If I open multi-aterm and immediately hit <control>-d, it closes immediately (as it should). If, however, I leave it open for some time (it doesn't seem to matter if I actually use it) and then hit <control>-d, it takes some 2 seconds to actually close. 

multi-aterm also crashes sometimes when I open a new tab, but I unfortunately lost the core dump (must have thought it was from Firefox and deleted it). 

The obvious workaround is to exit with <alt>f4, but:
1-) <control>-d is in my muscle memory
2-) <alt>-f4 is hard to press because f4 is too far away
3-) this probably indicates a bug in the multi-aterm code; perhaps even related to the crash problem.

another workaround is to exit by typing 'exit' and hitting enter, but <control>-d is more practical.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open multi-aterm
2. wait at least 6 seconds (perhaps this varies from machine to machine)
3. hit <control>-d


Actual Results:  
It takes some 2 seconds to close

Expected Results:  
Should have exited immediately, like all other terminal emulators do when I hit <control>-d.

This package has no Gentoo maintainer and is dead upstream (last release 3 years ago). You can try to contact the author or attach a patch; otherwise not much we could do here.
