Description
Type: Bug
Behaviour
On linux (Ubuntu 24.04 exactly), active python process doesn't stop on closing "Python Debugger Console" and debugger UI dissappears. On Windows 10 acts as expected.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run next script
import time
i = 0
while True:
with open("counter.txt", "w") as f:
f.write(str(i))
time.sleep(1)
i += 1
- Close "Python Debugger Console" through "Kill (Delete)" button
- Debugger UI dissappears, but created file "counter.txt" is still being updated
