The version of CEF on Linux is lagging behind and I would like to try to improve this situation.
To do so there are two ways:

• fix the crash on quit on Fix CEF 2171 build on Linux adobe/brackets-shell#499
• update the portion of cefclient used on the brackets shell which hopefully fix the crash

We tryed the first thing and asked for help without results.

Now I'm tryng the second way, but before I need some cleanup PR: I'm asking if someone of you could try to compile and run them on OSX and Windows and report the results.
If you will try, could you report in the PR mentioned which OS you used (Windows, OSX) and the compiler (GCC, Visual Studio 2015, ...)?

Thank you

PS: Here you can find how build the shell: https://github.com/adobe/brackets-shell/wiki/Building-brackets-shell

@Learn-Digital-Audio I'll update this thread with any news.
Right now I have a couple of PR in the works, nothing big, but they are build one on top of each other.
So I need adobe/brackets-shell#561 before posting another one. And that PR has yet to be tested on OSX.
In general there is still a lot of work to do (especially since I'm not really a native developer)
Since Linux version is mostly community driven, as of now, if I receive more help I can do (a little) more.

Anyone know if there is a workaround? I'm running brackets on my desktop which is Ubuntu 14.04 without a problem. On my laptop with 16.04 I get the libgcrypt11 issue.

@kirkins have you searched it on other issues?
By the way there are some workarounds in #12380 and #10255 for the libgcrypt11 issue.

Another, but much more ambitious way, to fix all problems on Linux would be to fix this electron issue and switch to that shell.

As a work around I used the repackaged version of 1.6 found at the bottom of this page:

I'm not sure if I still continue on this given that@zaggino has released brackets-electron.
See this comment for a bit more context: adobe/brackets#10255 (comment)
