I've (managed) to install Brackets on Crunchbang 11/Debian 7, running OpenBox window manager.

When the application starts up, the minimise and maximise button both work, but the X/Close button will not work. Furthermore, going in to File -> Quit doesn't close the application either.

The only way to close the application is to make sure I run it from the command line, and then Ctrl + C at the terminal to close it. Or to restart the machine.

Have you tried clicking the close button a second time? This is a known issue, as noted on https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/Linux-Version.

Closing as duplicate of #4611. @danielbarbarito if you have reason to believe you're seeing something different, please let us know and we can reopen.

@peterflynn It looks like he's talking 'bout something else - in your mentioned issue, it's always possible to close Brackets using File > Quit, but he explicitly stated that's not possible.

(But, according to #4816, Brackets doesn't run on Debian 7 at all)

This definately isn't a duplicate.

I didn't count how many times I clicked the X button but I know I definately double clicked it, sometimes triple clicking on it and nothing.

And@MarcelGerber is correct, even if I went to File > Quit it just wouldn't close. The application wasn't unresponsive, I could still use it, just had no way of closing the program.

@mickburke Are you running an official Brackets build downloaded from http://brackets.io/, or did you get a build from somewhere else? If you're running an unofficial build or compiled it yourself, that could be the cause of problems -- if so, please try an official build and let us know if the problem occurs there too.

Also, can you use Debug > Show Developer Tools and look in the Console tab for errors? There may be errors getting thrown that are preventing the quit from finishing.

@peterflynn No I downloaded it straight from the brackets.io website, I didn't compile it. It's on the work laptop, which is at work, so I'll check tomorrow and report back.

@mickburke Have you installed any 3rd party extensions? You might try reloading without extensions Debug > Reload Without Extensions

This makes yet another Linux closing bug. Sounds like adobe/brackets-shell#458 might help remedy half of this (at least for some flavors of Linux, maybe not Debian)... :)

Brackets does not officially support Debian 7. If people are trying to improve the support of Brackets on Debian 7 knowing if there are errors in the Dev Tools console will help to resolve these issues (Peter's comment above).
