Bug Description
[Impact]
There are some cases where nemo crash on umount for example https:/
this has occurred and has been reported by many users (even outside of here)
I also had this issue and like other users before know it is cause the fails of files copy running in another nemo window.
In case of some operation like copy it is significant, even more so with cutting operations.
This is solved by upstream patch https:/
I included also a small patch that solves another crash case (https:/
https:/
Applied upstream in nemo 4.6.0
[Test Case]
For the crash on umount, simply umount something from nemo and nemo will crash (closing also any operation, like copy/cut running in it).
For the second patch keep mouse clicked when rename file/folder and press enter and nemo will crash.
[Where problems could occur]
The first patch about the crash on umount is easy to reproduce, many users already reported it after it caused problems with ongoing operations.
Patch is upstream for over 2 years and I have not found regressions about it from a fast search.
The second patch is rarer to happen but in some cases doing some operations quickly could happen so it seems useful to backport this too as it is a small patch with minimal impact and used upstream for a year already.
I did a patch for a SRU for bionic (in attachment).
I also build and tested it: https:/
I used on my notebook (used regularly) and I have not seen regressions until now.
