• I have reset Atom to defaults prior to submitting report.
• I have not reset Atom to defaults prior to submitting report.
• I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the terminal.

Description

When a program encounters an infinite loop, the whole terminal window gets hanged. The cross button to close the terminal window doesn't work even on pressing it and the only way to exit the terminal window is by closing atom.

Steps to reproduce

1. Write a program to produce an infinite loop.
2. Run the program using the Termination terminal window using the right commends.
3. Try pressing the cross button when on top right corner of the terminal window.

Expected behavior:

After pressing the cross, the terminal window should be closed

Actual behavior:

The terminal window gets hanged.

Reproduces how often:

It happens every time you encounter an infinite loop.

Hi @Ojas1804 and thanks for the report!

I'm unable to replicate this on my system (macOS) with the following script.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

i = 0
while True:
    i += 1
    print(i)

When saving and running this in the prompt as python infinite.py, pressing the red "X" closes the terminal window.

Can you provide an example of a script in which this behavior occurs?

Thanks!
Fred
