[MCL-9914] Linux: Launcher process keep running when game is closed

I opened Minecraft with "Open output log when game starts" checked and played as usual.
I closed the launcher, and when I wanted to open it again nothing happened. I also tried to open the launcher via Terminal but no output is shown. What happened is that the Minecraft Launcher process never stopped. This keeps happening when I check "Open output log when game starts".

I can confirm on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.10, downloading the Minecraft.deb and after playing and then closing the game, the process persists. This prevents opening the launcher again.

A quick fix could be doing "killall launcher" in the terminal. No sudo required! Then you can open the launcher once again. I did this when it happened and unchecked "Open output log when game starts".

Found a work around, toggling "Keep launcher open" on, will kill the process after closing the game and it.

It would appear that the issue has been resolved.

No, I do not have antivirus on this particular device.
