Yes, but that is by design. There is a restore Sigil windows from settings bug that can only be worked around by saving whether F&R is open first in settings, then closing F&R before saving all the window geometries in Sigil settings (which happens in the closeEvent on a MainWindow when it calls WriteSettings()).

Upon launch, the state of F&R is read from settings, then if it was previously visible - after restoring all window geometries, F&R is re-opened. Without this workaround the restoring of geometries can be randomly mess up.

So that is the one expected case. If you see F&R randomly going away when not trying to close and exit out of Sigil, please let me know how as I have never seen it.
