'connect to server' crashes nautilus

[Seth Myers]

using Hardy 8.04 that is current as of 5-18-08.

if you open up nautilus and type an ssh url in the location text box it 'mounts' the server, causing it to appear on the desktop.

1) mounting a connection to a server in this manner (though requested ssh) results in an sftp connection that is mounted at the desktop.
2) entering "ssh://<email address hidden>" also results in a freeze up or crash of nautilus including toolbars.
3) the mount folder disappears after the session has ended. though the 'bookmarks' remain at the [Places] toolbar and seemingly cannot be deleted.

Thanks for your bug report.

"mounting a connection to a server in this manner (though requested ssh) results in an sftp connection that is mounted at the desktop."
Yes, this is doing exactly what you requested it to do, making a network mount. Also note that "ssh:" is just an internal alias for "sftp:"; they do the exact same thing.

"the mount folder disappears after the session has ended."
Yes, mounts are not persistent across sessions, this is doing exactly what it should do.

"though the 'bookmarks' remain at the [Places] toolbar and seemingly cannot be deleted."
This is interesting, can you give more information on how exactly it "cannot be deleted"? If you press ctrl+b in a Nautilus window, you can't remove it from the places menu there? If you right click it in a browser window and select "remove", you can't remove it there?

Lastly, if it crashes: please try to obtain a backtrace

bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

This is not how my desktop was working whilst using 7.04. Not really a problem then, just liked the old way better.

My mistake, was unaware of [Ctrl] + B command.

... in addition, initiating a file transfer to a connected server has been crashing nautilus. for example, a firefox page may be minimized but there is no way to unminimize firefox or any other program running on the toolbars. the [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Backspace] command logs out the user but does not seem to solve the nautilus crash as the toolbars do not reappear after logging in again. the only fix is to reboot from the login splash.
