I'm experiencing this with both Stable and Canary desktop clients on Nobara Linux. Canary closes properly if I have "Show system tray icon" enabled in the App settings > Linux app settings. However, Stable won't close properly no matter if that is enabled or disabled. Closing the app(s) closes the window and sometimes removes the tray icon, but it remains active in the System Monitor, where I have to quit the app before I can reopen it. (Note: No screensharing or VC activity.)
Stable Desktop 2026.1013.200953, Web 2026.1013.223959, Linux 7.2.10-200.nobara.fc44.x86_64 (x64), Electron 44.4.1, Chrome 152.0.7977.78, Node 24.21.0, Locale en-US
Canary Desktop 2026.1013.201015, Web 2026.1014.5142, Linux 7.2.10-200.nobara.fc44.x86_64 (x64), Electron 44.4.1, Chrome 152.0.7977.78, Node 24.21.0, Locale en-US
Ooh, nice catch! I tested this and found the same behavior on my Windows problem PC: re-enabling the system tray icon and "close to system tray," then using the system tray icon to select "Quit Fluxer," will close the program successfully and stop all processes immediately. As soon as I disable the system tray icon again, the processes fail to terminate when the program is closed.
I can reproduce this as well. Could you edit your report to reflect these new findings, and also remove the Win10 tag since this seems to affect other platforms? I can confirm this once that's done.
