On Ubuntu, when attempting to close the Brackets window via the X button, it takes 2 attempts before the window actually closes.

I have done some investigation into this. It appears that earlier versions of the linux CEF3 didn't emit a GTK delete event - this has now been patched:
https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedded/issues/attachmentText?id=780&aid=7800000000&name=gtk_delete_event.diff&token=-r_yEWKd9SaWYQGP9URC7I91jxI%3A1374642422808

The present code has a workaround which now that we are using patched CEF3 versions results in multiple clicks required.

Also having a similar problem with newly installed Sprint 32 (sprint 32 experimental build 0.32.0-9791 (On branch master,master e49a849fb) installed via deb package on Xubuntu 13.04. In fact, it's not closing at all. As a result, need to kill both brackets and brackets-node processes.

This didn't occur with Sprint 31 on the same system, so perhaps something's changed recently. Thanks!

@dixonge The core team is short on native Linux skills. Would you like to try to fix this one?

same here 12.04, Brackets 36

Are there any additional infos on that to ease the assessment of the problem for people who want to try to fix it? If I understand@timburgess correctly, the problem is caused by code in Brackets which was a workaround for a now-fixed bug in CEF?

Looks like someone should try uncommenting the disabled code in the Linux impl of CloseWindow(): https://github.com/adobe/brackets-shell/blob/master/appshell/appshell_extensions_gtk.cpp#L479

UPDATE: the "disabled code" referred to above now seems to be on a different line:
https://github.com/adobe/brackets-shell/blob/master/appshell/appshell_extensions_gtk.cpp#L531

Anyone want to give that a try and send a PR if it works?

Note: Dupe #5714 (or #7794) has some steps where this could cause data loss. Marking 'needs review' to consider whether the core team should take cycles to work on this.

@redmunds Is someone working on this? It looks like you added 'fix in progress' recently but also cleared the assignee...

@peterflynn The pull request is adobe/brackets-shell#458. This was assigned to me, but I have not been involved with it, so I removed myself.

This bug still exists in Brackets Release 1.2 experimental build 1.2.0-15697 (release 8f82e2a97)
and Release 1.3 experimental build 1.3.0-012 (release 2fbd9d392) .
Also, when reopening Brackets, it reverts to a smaller window size even if it was fullscreen before exiting...

Anything blocking the review / merge of the PR? The fix seems to work according to@jasonsanjose

Still having this issue, Ubuntu 16.04 - Brackets 1.7. I concur with@Mr-Skwiggs - the window does revert to a smaller size after reopening, even if it was fullscreen.

@jextrevor try brackets-electron, https://github.com/zaggino/brackets-electron/releases current version matches latest brackets and works much better on linux (minus live preview functionality)

@axedre you should be able to install AppImage on arch linux as far as I know. More info on http://appimage.org/
