Ghost dialog appears when I close xplorer2

Can I do anything about a "ghost dialog" that very briefly flashes when I close x2? I believe it has something to do with Robust Delete and when I use the Trash command. It doesn't interfere with anything, but it is distracting, and since I can't interact with it and barely can read it, it seems unnecessary.

what if you don't look at it?

Because 25 years of using programs with a graphical interface has taught me that when a program shows a dialog when it closes, it wants me to either save unsaved files, or confirm a critical action it is about to do when it closes. This makes them very hard to ignore and I will have to make an exception and train myself to ignore it. I think its tell me that it is deleting the files I used Trash for, but it is so fast I can’t read it or respond to it, so it is only a unnecessary distraction to me.

I have modest needs. I’m just going disable Robust Delete with Advanced Options.

I've noticed this artifact, as well. Flashes by in an instant. Like pschroeter, experience has trained me to notice these things, which generally indicate something that needs to be addressed.

Now that I know this is caused by Robust Delete, I too may disable RD, which is, alas, proving more troublesome than helpful.

Does the "sort of beta" 1803 address this?
