Description

I tried using the official CLI of arduino 1.5.5-r2. It worked except that it opened up the Arduino IDE window after issuing the command, compiled and downloaded the sketch, then autoclosed itself. This is not consistent with what has been described in the documents. Is this a known bug? If so, is there a workaround like setting a hidden flag or something?

Thanks for any help.

Research direction

The issue concerns the official Arduino CLI 1.5.5-r2 and its interaction with the Arduino IDE, but names no source file or test. Start by reproducing the documented CLI invocation and compare its behavior with the report; done means establishing whether the IDE launch is expected and documenting a confirmed workaround or fix.
