[sudarshaana]

Describe the bug After launching the instance, it's saying open shell prompt to frequently. Sometime within sec, sometime within few seconds.

To Reproduce This happens automatically. I haven't minimized or the window was not out of focus.

Expected behavior It should be for the first time or may be when the window is out of focus.

Hi, @sudarshaana! I am not sure I understand your suggestion for how the expected behavior would differ from the current one. Could you please elaborate?

Right now, when you go to the page of a running instance for the first time (or you are taken there automatically after the instance is launched), a shell opens automatically. If you are in a running shell, you can exit it, and then you get this 'Open shell' button, which is enabled if the instance is still running.

What exactly do you mean by getting this prompt too frequently? Within a few seconds of what?
