Distro: Arch Linux + i3wm Journalctl shows nothing vte-common 0.56.3-1 vte3 0.56.3-1 Tested against both the latest git version of xfce4-terminal at the time (0.8.8git-f7a4d2ab (Xfce 4.14pre2)) and the latest in the Arch repos (0.8.8 (Xfce 4.14pre2))
Hi Gentz, it's working for me as expected. Are you sure you're choosing the right button? Are you pressing the button with a mouse or a keyboard? Can you run xfce4-terminal from another terminal and see if anything gets printed out?
Hello. I can confirm this bug and it is why I am on bugzilla. How to reproduce: start xfce4-terminal. open some tabs. click the cross in the window frame. A dialog opens. "Warning Close all tabs? This window has 6 tabs open. Closing this window will also close all its tabs. (box) [] do not ask me again (buttons) Cancel , X close tab , Close Window " The dialog box has 3 buttons. One is cancel and the other two both close the window with all the tabs. Tested on XFCE version 4.12 , distributed by Xubuntu.
Hi jerome, on which version of xfce4-terminal are you seeing this?
Hello Igor. Thank you for your response. XFCE4-terminal version 0.8.7.4 on XFCE version 4.12 , distributed by Xubuntu. I tried running xfce4-terminal from another xfce4-terminal and there was no output whatsoever.
jerome, indeed, in version 0.8.7.4 there was a bug with the dialog. However, it is supposed to be fixed in version 0.8.8. Gentz is claiming he's still seeing the bug in 0.8.8 which I cannot reproduce.
(In reply to Igor from comment #1) > Can you run xfce4-terminal from another terminal and see if anything gets > printed out? Ah, so I tried to start xfce4-terminal in the terminal, and it immediately closed before spawning a new window. I guess when calling xfce4-terminal, if it finds an existing xfce4-terminal open, it opens the new window using the existing process. That existing xfce4-terminal process seamed to linger around even if all the terminal windows were closed. This confused me, as `xfce4-terminal --version` was reporting the new versions. Anyways, since this system has had an uptime of 34 days, and 0.8.8 only landed in the repos ~20 days ago, this leads me to believe I was actually testing 0.8.7.4. Running `pkill -9 xfce4-terminal` in xterm and restarting xfce4-terminal so that it actually uses 0.8.8 resolves this problem. Thank you.
Thanks for the update!
