Linux has long enjoyed a UI element recently added in various ways to both macOS and Windows: multiple workspaces, where sets of windows can be switched between.

I've found an unfortunate things with LC on Ubuntu 14.04:

I tend to open LC on a workspace other than the default, switching to it throughout the day as I go, and switching back to other workspaces for email, etc.

Once in a while, I find that when I switch back to the workspace where I have LC, the LC app will crash. When this happens it doesn't invoke the OS dialog I see when other apps crash; it's just a silent and quick exit in which the windows all close at once and the process dies.

The problem is that this is uncommon. I can go days at a time without this happening. And I've found no common recipe when it does happen other than having been working in the LC workspace for a while, and then spending some time in another workspace before switching back; it's the switching back that seems to trigger it.

Has anyone else seen this, whether on Linux or any other workspace-enabled OS?

I'm interested in comparing notes to see if we might pin down a recipe worthy of submitting in a bug report.

TIA -
