To confirm_os_window_close 1 in Kitty only ask for confirmation when a non-default (child) shell is running?

How can confirm_os_window_close 1 in Kitty only ask for confirmation when a non-default shell program is still running?
Tried confirm_os_window_close -1
and many else eg. put on ~/.bashrc:

shopt -s checkjobs
set -m

to no avai. Please really shed a light
Thanks before

confirm_os_window_close -1 works exactly like that. But you need to have working shell integration for it to function. Presumably something in your bashrc is breaking shell integration, fix that andyou will be fine.

Launcher's CL with bash' argument :

bash -c
(then -c argument), affects, it clearly shows it has troubleb in this issue

just make it void of such argument that is, move it up to .bashrc , would solve
