Device reboot when closing monitor window

Using Arduino Avrdude, stk500, Bootloader issues
1

Just for information:-
I am using an ESP32 with Arduino IDE.

I have noticed that if the board selected, is 'Arduino Pro or Pro mini', the ESP32 reboots when the monitoring window is closed.
Opening a monitoring window, does not cause a reboot.

If the correct 'ESP32 Dev' board is selected, no ESP32 reboot occurs when opening or closing the monitoring window.
(ESP32 does reboot after a program download, as expected).

On both:-
IDE 1.8.12 running on Windows 10
IDE 1.8.15 running on Windows 7

Maybe this could be (added/is) a selectable option?

Thanks for your past help.

Hi @JohnSan. The system is explained in the Arduino platform specification:
https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/latest/platform-specification/#serial-monitor-control-signal-configuration

Here is the "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini" board definition:
https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr/blob/1.8.3/boards.txt#L656-L731
Notice that this board definition doesn't have a serial.disableDTR or serial.disableRTS property (meaning they have the default false values.

Here is the "ESP32 Dev Module" board definition:
https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/1.0.6/boards.txt#L17-L153
Notice that it has these properties set to true:

esp32.serial.disableDTR=true
esp32.serial.disableRTS=true
