On Mac OS 10.9, Activity Monitor is showing a "Brackets Helper" process that is "not responding". Brackets is running fine, however, and there is another Brackets Helper process that appears to be fine.

Marking this "low priority" because Brackets is working, but it may be worth figuring out what the mysterious other process is.

I see 2 helper processes but how do I know which one isn't responding?

Activity Monitor shows the process name in red and says "(Not Responding)" after the name.

Interesting. Are you on 10.9?

Someone on IRC reported this issue to me this morning and I noticed that it was happening on my system as well.

I don't think it happens all the time - it's intermittent.

I think this is a dupe of #5794

Ah, yes forgot we already had a bug. If they found a workaround in Chrome, it might just get fixed with a future CEF.
