Nautilus sftp freeze

[dronus]

If something goes stuck on sftp transfer (or just directory load / refresh) nautlius may freeze hard.

-On Ubuntu 12.04, the concerned directory windows freeze, and can be removed by ejecting the sftp mount. The related windows can't recover. This is not cool.

-On Ubuntu 14.04.03 it is even worse: A frozen sftp freezes ALL nautilus windows, and if running gnome classic session, it even freezes the whole gnome-panel. This is just akward.

I don't know where to blame this first, but this is definitely caused by several bad designs.

-Nautilus should handle frozen sftp filesystems generously (timeouts, still respond to user while showing frozen state, eg darken the file list or something )

-Nautilus should never freeze other windows except the ones concerned (was so in older nautlius as of Ubuntu 12.04)

-gnome-panel should never freeze on nautlilus freeze.

Sadly this was bad and got even worse... can we do the turn around?

The bug is years old without activity nor recent similar report, closing as deprecate. You can open a new bug if that's still an issue though
