Fingerterm leaves 'zombie' cover on typing 'exit'
I'm guessing this isn't intended behaviour, it used to disappear...
Sailfish 1.1.9.28
We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.

Sailfish 1.1.9.28
This seems to be the general, intended behavior of applications closed on Sailfish 1.1.9.28 now. May or may not change in the future.
You may remove the covers either by activating "close by swipe from up to down" from settings and using the gesture or alternatively long pressing the home screen and clicking the "X" that appears to each cover.
There isn't any I know of either, but this occurs if the Out Of Memory -killer decides to shutdown some app. Although non native, android apps also are left as dead covers if you exit them by pressing the Android layer's "Back"-button appropriate number of times. Apparently the idea of the dead covers is similar to the android's "Recent apps" -button, combined with the Sailfish homescreen. So in a way, there is now two types of closing in Sailfish.

I'll leave this open for now, pending confirmation from anyone at Jolla that it's supposed to act like this. It's no big issue, but it still seems unexpected to me.

I don't know if it's intended or not, probably not. When you click the "zombie-cover" it re-opens a terminal window. But it would make more sense to close the window and remove multitasking cover with 'exit', since that's the usual behaviour on linux systems.
molan ( 2015-09-14 16:22:51 +0200 )editi think the os should diffrentiate between graceful shutdown of the app and oom initiated shutdown. the latter should leave a greyed out cover while the latter should not.
droll ( 2015-09-15 03:36:32 +0200 )editAlso Android apps show a greyed out cover on exit. If I remember right it was mentioned in the release notes as a feature.
