Public bug reported: I am on 17.10 now but I also experienced the following behaviour all recent Ubuntu versions.
What I expect to happen: After closing Rhythmbox by pressing "x" in the menu bar, the program should really close and music should stop playing. What actually happens: Rhythmbox keeps running in the background. To finally stop the music I have to press pause in the Gnome shell addon (17.10) or press the audio button in the top panel and pause the music there (17.04 and prior versions). I know that this a "feature" rather than a real bug. However, this behaviour very counterintuitive - all other programs (included in Ubuntu by default) close on "x". Plus it does not even have any benefit on usability- we have that neat dock to park programs that run in the background. Therefore I see no reason that Rhythmbox should in this regard behave different and I would call it a bug in user experience. I think it should be changed, at least in future Ubuntu versions. ** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1740700 Title: rhythmbox keeps playing music after closing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1740700/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
