When I quit the game, I expected the Minecraft Launcher to quit immediately.
Instead, the Minecraft Launcher remains open for a long time. I timed it at about 20 secs after Minecraft is closed before the launcher quits. The launcher is the grass block icon that you click to enter the game, as opposed to the crafting block icon that opens when Minecraft is launched.
1. Open Minecraft as usual.
2. Hit quit game on the main screen.
3. Watch the Minecraft Launcher remain open.

I thought there was another bug report that is a duplicate of this...
Here it is: MCL-1280
Not 100% duplicate, but it deals with the same kind of issues.
Also, the default behavior is to close the launcher when the game starts, but this behavior is improperly labeled, because the launcher does not actually close until after you quit the game completely.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 14w19a / Launcher version 1.3.11 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
This certainly happens with 14w20a & 1.4.2, however it's gotten much shorter in duration.
Anyhow, I'm going to guess that this improvement is due to using Java 8 instead of Java 6 or 7.
This ticket is entirely contained within the last 3 words of the title of MCL-1280, so this ticket is technically a duplicate.
@Jonathan The issue is similar, but this is more about how long the launcher takes to close, not the fact it is still open. See Torabi's comment. Part of this bug is also bug MCL-1280 where the launcher remains open after Minecraft quits.
When I made this report, I looked for a duplicate bug report and couldn't find one. I'm just trying to help, but if you all believe that I am just making duplicate reports to mess up your website, I won't be reporting any more bugs.
Frank, over half of my reports have been duplicates, and I always do searches beforehand. It's just something we have to deal with.
I know that MCL-1280 is different. All I'm saying is that it's basically 2 tickets in one.
Option one is change the title & desc. of MCL-1280, or merge this ticket info into the existing ticket.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft Launcher version 2.0.805 / 2.0.806? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. If this has been done, we can reopen the issue.
Keep in mind that the "Resolved"-Status on this ticket just means "Answered", and that we are waiting for further information on whether this issue still exists or not. It will be reopened it as soon as the requested information has been delivered.
I don't understand... the Minecraft Launcher isn't supposed to close when the game closes. What option do you have set for the launcher visibility in your profile settings?
