Description

I tried using the official CLI of arduino 1.5.5-r2. It worked except that it opened up the Arduino IDE window after issuing the command, compiled and downloaded the sketch, then autoclosed itself. This is not consistent with what has been described in the documents. Is this a known bug? If so, is there a workaround like setting a hidden flag or something?

Thanks for any help.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the CLI implementation to find where the IDE window is launched and prevent it from opening automatically. Look for any configuration flags or command line arguments that control IDE visibility.
