'Launching RoboVM app' does not end task even when the app is closed

I'm seeing this both on the simulator and device. Force quitting the app still doesn't end the sbt task.

sbt launcher version 0.13.7
sbt-robovm version 1.11.0

I am aware of this problem, but I am not sure what causes it, probably something with threads, because it works correctly when launched directly from command line ($ sbt device instead of $ sbt & $ device).

Running sbt device seems good enough, thanks for the tip.

I previously tried adding """cancelable in Global := true //can quit device task using [ctrl]+[c]""" to my sbt file, which lets the device task run twice within a sbt session, but the second time it would hang on getting a lock.
