[Bug 1309603] Re: Occasionally applications will not close using “X” on upper left of window.

 

** Description changed:

  I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit on a Dell Latitude Laptop with an Intel
  Core i5 and 4G RAM installed.
  
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  Release:	14.04
  
  unity:
    Installed: 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1 0

  Seemingly randomly I will not be able to close an application using the
  "X" button of the upper left of the screen.  Sometimes it requires
  multiple clicks, but usually when this happens I have to right click the
  application icon on the quick launcher and select "quit" to close the
  window.  This has occurred on multiple applications "firefox",
  "nautilus", "pithos", and "software center" are the most recent that I
  can remember for example, and I am assuming this is an issue with Unity
  on my system.
  
  I expect windows to always close within a short amount of time after
  clicking the "X".
  
- Other possible Unity related oddities which are occurring on my system
- which may be related to this issue...
- 
-     "Control-Alt-T" will sometimes not open a terminal, I might have to
- press the combination 4 or 5 times to get terminal to open.
- 
-      "Pithos" music player will not display icon in notification area on
- the top bar (although it behaves as if it did, i.e. will continue
- playing after closing the main window when "show nofication area icon"
- option is selected).  I have also submitted this particular bug to the
- Pithos development team.
- 
  These are all new issues that I did not have when using Ubuntu 12.04.
  I am being sufficiently patient with allowing plenty of time (several
  seconds) for applications to close before clicking anything else again.
