Atom launches twice - Githubissues

sgebauer commented 3 years ago

Since the last update, atom always launches two instances.

To reproduce, simply run flatpak run io.atom.Atom. A few seconds after atom has started, a second atom window will open. This second window...

seems to be a separate instance (Ctrl+Q in one window will not close the other one)
always uses default settings and shows the welcome screen
has $HOME/.var/app/io.atom.Atom/data/compile-cache as the project folder

This does not happen if i revert to the last commit (flatpak update --commit=7302bb14a117f156ef58ade8a7ac1cb51b6133cd8e9c672c223e24651c4de1ff io.atom.Atom).

(Flatpak version is 1.10.1 from Debian buster-backports)

I am unable to reproduce this.

However, it could be related to me sidestepping the usual launch shell script in order to upgrade to upstream zypak, if you're sure this isn't caused by something else I'll just revert it and try a cleaner workaround the next time.

I can reproduce this in a fresh Debian 10 VM, so it's not caused by any part of my specific setup.

The only additional condition seems to be that atom's restored state needs to have a project folder open. Starting from a fresh install, you need to do the following:

Start atom
Open a project folder
Quit atom
Start it again

@sgebauer just to make sure before I merge, could you please test the build here to see whether it fixes your issue?

sgebauer commented 3 years ago

Yes, i can't reproduce it any more with the linked build.
