Shutter process does not exit after shutter close

[vsespb]

Steprs to reproduce:

1. Run shutter.
2. Close it with Alt-F4
3. shutter is still in process list, but not visible in launcher nor in tray icons.

Correct way to close shutter is "Quit" from menu. But it's not documented and there is no option to change this behaviour.

Also, initially I found "shutter" eating 100% CPU in process list, but I cannot reproduce this, probably.

I'm not using Unity (and therefore libappindicator), but things you could do to trac the problem:

1. Try the current version from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~shutter/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=precise
2. Start Shutter from the command line and see what messages it displays after trying to close it.

no messages at all. (below messages thrown _before_ I try to close it. )

I have perl modules installed over CPAN on my box. So I tried empty new Ubuntu 12.04 VM - same problem.

[Michael Kogan (michael-kogan)]

Since you already have a VM install to play with, could you maybe test with another DE (say, Xfce)? I suppost that this is a libappindicator problem but this needs to be clarified.

[vsespb (vsespb)]

I don't have Ubuntu VMs with another DE. Let's just wait till someone reproduce problem in Unity and confirm ticket. If you don't have unity you unlikely can fix it and test the fix.

[covertgeek (derek-rushing)]

I'm having the same issue with Xubuntu 13.10.

Running command via a script as:
/usr/bin/shutter -s -e -n -c --output=screenshot.png

If I hit escape, it never exits.

If I run shutter manually (no options) and then click "X" to close the window, I get the same behavior.

Attempted with both PPA and Xubuntu repository releases.

0.90.1 Rev.1259

[htellez (tellez-hector)]

Still a problem on 0.94 Rev.1290

Repro steps:

1> $ shutter -s -e
2> wait for selection instructions to appear
3> press ESC

If you are looking at your terminal you will see:
GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 130 was not found when attempting to remove it at /usr/bin/shutter line 7262.

[Michael Kogan (michael-kogan)]

htellez: I think, this is a different issue. When you press ESC in selection mode, the selection mode is terminated but Shutter itself is still running, you should see its tray icon still being displayed. This is the way it is intended to be. The original bug report describes another issue, the tray icon being gone and only a process still running.
