Yes! I have this as well on linux mint 18.3.

When you close the Boostnote window it goes away, but three process remain alive:

jkbecker 14518  0.2  0.4 1477804 66228 ?       Sl   14:27   0:33 /usr/share/boostnote/Boostnote
jkbecker 14521  0.0  0.0 333972  4056 ?        S    14:27   0:00 /usr/share/boostnote/Boostnote --type=zygote --no-sandbox
jkbecker 14552  0.2  0.9 1199664 158124 ?      Sl   14:27   0:35 /usr/share/boostnote/Boostnote --type=renderer --no-sandbox --primordial-pipe-token=[...] --lang=en-US --app-path=/usr/share/boostnote/resources/app --node-integration=true --webview-tag=true --no-sandbox --enable-blink-features=OverlayScrollbars --enable-pinch --num-raster-threads=4 --enable-main-frame-before-activation --content-image-texture-target=[...lots-of-numbers...] --disable-accelerated-video-decode --disable-webrtc-hw-vp8-encoding --disable-gpu-compositing --service-request-channel-token=[...] --renderer-client-id=3 --shared-files=v8_natives_data:100,v8_snapshot_data:101

When I try to launch Boostnote the next time, the window just flashes briefly and then goes away. I have to go and kill the old processes before I can launch the Boostnote application successfully again.

Are there some logs I can post which would help here?

@ushell @jkbecker Are you using Cinnamon? I couldn't reproduce this problem on my Linux(Ubuntu with Unity).
Anyway, I'm going to apply some potential fix to the next version.

[jkbecker]

@Rokt33r yes, I'm using Cinnamon. Let me know if I can install the fix somewhere to test!

[Rokt33r]

Haha I assume this will fix it. https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/pull/1721

It has been fixed by https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/pull/1741. And, we're going to release new version in this weekend.
