Even when Kate's konsole plugin isn't loaded (used), a shell is started when a document is opened. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: A: 1. Start Kate so that it's stdout and stderr are connected to a terminal 2. Quit. B: 1. Start Kate so that it's stdout and stderr are connected to a terminal 2. Open a document 3. Quit. Actual Results: A: No warnings about shells on exit. B: shell did not close, sending SIGHUP Process 37896 did not die with SIGHUP I see the same "sending SIGHUP" message on Linux, but there the shell apparently reacts as expected to the signal. Expected Results: There appears to be no reason to start a shell when the konsole plugin isn't being used.
Hmm, I don't get that message, but e.g. if you use the project plugin, shell will be spawned perhaps to execute git to get the list of files in the repo. Beside that, I see no real QProcess/... usage.
I'm indeed no longer getting it systematically (but maybe I found a configuration workaround since I filed this issue...)
I don't get it here, too, therefore, if you get it again, it would be nice if you could try out to deactivate all plugins, if it goes away. If not, please reopen.
