Electrum processes

[ilib]

MAC OS El Capitan
Electrum 3.3.8

For some mysterious reason there are two processes of Electrum as shown in the screenshot

Is that normal?

Code:

$ ps aux | grep -i electrum
username   6953   0.9  1.0  2792496  43352   ??  S     1:28PM   0:15.79 /Applications/Electrum.app/Contents/MacOS/Electrum
username   6951   0.0  0.2  2531360   6876   ??  S     1:28PM   0:00.90 /Applications/Electrum.app/Contents/MacOS/Electrum

One of the processes is always "Not responding" and it is the parent of another one. If I kill either of them, then both processes will be terminated.

IMHO it was only one process in the past. Being little bit paranoid I installed Eset antivirus but it found no suspicious process (I did not scan the full disk as it takes ages and it heats the laptop like a pan)

Has anybody notices that as well?

On Windows (10), there are also two processes; one active and one in the background, but unlike yours, it's not "not responding".
Also, there will be another separate active process if there are two instance running (even in the "enter password screen").

Have you verified that Electrum installer though?

there is a small possibility that this is a bug in Electrum itself. from what i can tell it  opens up new threads on multiple occasions, considering it has created 2 threads and not use any CPU time and is not responding, maybe something went wrong in those so they weren't closed properly hence they are lingering as a new process
