Closing a picture and 'Alt-tabbing' to it before it closes breaks Cinnamon

Post by Darkmaster006 »

So it just happened to me that I closed a window which was a picture in the image viewer, and I changed with Alt-Tab out of it before it closed, but then changed back before it closed, and Cinnamon broke. This time it didn't even tell me it was about to run in Fallback mode and if I wanted to restart Cinnamon... so how do I restart it?

Thanks for reporting that. It was previously reported in another topic that if one of the programs in the Alt-Tab list disappears while the Alt-Tab list is open, bad things happen. We hope that bug is addressed soon.
