Description

I've noticed that my CPU was almost at 100% for a long time, then I've opened Btop and noticed that Micro was still running in background at two processes because I've used it to quickly edit an .html file two times.
I don't know what else to say about it, but I think it need to be fixed.

Research direction

Reproduce the report by opening and closing an .html file twice, then use Btop or another process monitor to check whether Micro remains running and consumes CPU. Done means the editor exits cleanly after use without lingering processes or sustained high CPU; the issue provides no source file or test location to begin from.
