First use prompts can’t be dismissed by X button

[sultanqasim]

The first time you launch a-Shell, a bubble prompt comes up saying “Extra keys: tab, control, escape, paste, and the four arrows”. There is a little “X” button to close the bubble, but that button has no effect, and the bubble just stays there. The only way to get the bubble to go away is to click elsewhere in the terminal or to close the app.

Likewise, the second time you launch a-Shell, a similar bubble prompt comes up regarding swiping from the left and right edges to go back and forward. As with the other bubble, the “X” button doesn’t work, and you can only dismiss it by clicking outside the bubble in the terminal area (or closing the app).

This is a very minor issue, but gives a bad first impression to new users of the app. The “X” button to dismiss the prompts should be fixed, and the second prompt should come up immediately when the first one is dismissed, rather than waiting for the second launch of the application.

That's problematic. These bubbles are managed by iOS, and were introduced by Apple as a way to show tips for new users. I don't have any control on them (that I know of), they're supposed to be dismissed by clicking on the "X". I'll see if there are other developers with the same issue.

It turns out the Apple developer forums were useful for this one. It will be fixed in the next release (but since you already saw the tips, and they only show once, you won't notice it. So thank you for requesting a fix that will improve the life of other users).
