[Bug 1985066] Re: cannot refresh snap "firefox": snap "firefox" has running apps (firefox)

[Andreas Scherbaum]

I'm affected by this problem as well: snap shows one app which should be
refreshed, but then refuses to refresh and claims there are still
processes running. Looking into the process list, not a single of the
listed PIDs is used.

In the meantime, the reminder about refreshing the app pops up constantly, but offers no options to solve the problem. I agree with @osomon that this is a horrible user experience.
