Snapping nautilus to the right and then to the top freezes the system

[nimu]

I experienced this bug since the update from 13.04 to 13.10

This is probably a unity bug, but it only occurs with nautilus file manager.

Steps to reproduce:
- Drag nautilus to the right or left edge to activate unity snapping feature
- Then drag nautilus to the top edge to maximize the window

Expected behaviour:
- The nautilus window maximizes and fills the whole screen

What happens instead:
- The whole user interface freezes and does not react to any kind of input, making the system unusable. Mouse curser can be moved around but nothing is clickable.

Snapping and maximizing all other applications using the edges of the screen works fine.

Thank you for your bug report, that's not a nautilus issue, could be xorg or the video driver/kernel.
What video card and driver do you use?
Could you add your /var/log dmesg syslog Xorg.0.log Xorg.0.log.old to the bug?

Thank you for your reply. I just received the latest kernel updates and cannot reproduce this bug anymore. Seems it's gone. Thanks anyway.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

thanks, closing the bug then

[nimu (n-mussin)]

The bug has reappeared.

Video card: NVIDIA Corporation GT218M [NVS 3100M] (rev a2)
Graphics driver: proprietary nvidia driver v304

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

is the issue specific to nautilus or does it happen with other softwares? does it happen if you use the nouveau driver instead?

Please re-open the bug if it's reproducible on 14.04, 16.04, 17.10, or 18.04.

[Ads20000 (ads20000)]

And preferably give the information that Sebastien requested in #11
