KDE desktop with KWin as WM. NVidia proprietary driver. Atom was installed via AUR.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom/issues/comments/73904415","html_url":"https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/4938#issuecomment-73904415","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom/issues/4938","id":73904415,"user":{"login":"batjko","id":7287076,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7287076?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/batjko","html_url":"https://github.com/batjko","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/batjko/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/batjko/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/batjko/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/batjko/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/batjko/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/batjko/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/batjko/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/batjko/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/batjko/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-11T15:52:05Z","updated_at":"2015-02-11T15:52:05Z","body":"@CumpsD That's interesting behavior though.
