I think you will find this was bug 1353867, fix released around the time of comment #8. Mir clients (apps) should always die on server death, and they now do.
That is at least until such time that we have the smarts to recover them when a new server starts, but that feature may realistically never happen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326513 Title: Applications are orphaned when unity8 crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1326513/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
