You definitely need to open a bugzilla against vlc. If it doesn't terminate when asked to, that is a bug. Now, whether it is vlc at fault, or the system, is hard to say. But a bugzilla will at least get things rolling. What happens if instead of using vlc to quit, you hit Alt-F4 when it is in focus to close it? That sends a terminate signal, and its internal logic then cleans up and closes. The difference is that this is external rather than internal. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
