Bug Description
I use emacs in a server/client mode and when I try to shutdown or restart, the dialog "a program is still running" (see attachment 1) appears and prevents the action.
The problem is that the dialog presents an action labeled "restart anyway" that does not work. It kills the "still running" process (my emacs server) and closes the dialog but does not shutdown/restart. You have to click on "shutdown" a second time and then it behaves correctly.
Now, this is a bug as the action is not performed as indicated but I think that we shouldn't even see this dialog in the first place. At least, there could be a counter that would trigger automatically the shutdown/restart action after a brief delay.
If it can help someone to reproduce the bug, I use this alias in ~/.bashrc :
alias emacs='emacsclient -c -a ""'
