Thank you for bug report, the stacktrace has no debug symbol, could you try to figure if that's a specific photo triggering the issue?

[Filipe Sousa (natros)]

I'm attaching a better backtrace with symbols from nautilus-gdb and libgtk2.0-0-dbg

That only happens with this directory.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

does it use CPU while it's blocking? could you try to figure if that's on picture there triggering the bug?

[Filipe Sousa (natros)]

cpu is 100%
it's hard to me to figure where the problem is.

after some debuging i found that execution is not returning from
gtk_scrolled_window_size_allocate (GtkWidget *widget, GtkAllocation *allocation)
gtk+2.0-2.16.0/gtk/gtkscrolledwindow.c:1337

more precisely the do while loop where previous_hvis = 1 and previous_vvis = 1

   │1416 do │
   │1417 { │
  >│1418 gtk_scrolled_window_relative_allocation (widget, &relative_allocation); │
   │1419 │
   │1420 child_allocation.x = relative_allocation.x + allocation->x; │
   │1421 child_allocation.y = relative_allocation.y + allocation->y; │
   │1422 child_allocation.width = relative_allocation.width; │
   │1423 child_allocation.height = relative_allocation.height; │
   │1424 │
   │1425 previous_hvis = scrolled_window->hscrollbar_visible; │
   │1426 previous_vvis = scrolled_window->vscrollbar_visible; │
   │1427 │
   │1428 gtk_widget_size_allocate (bin->child, &child_allocation); │
   │1429 ...

This only happens when the nautilus window size is about 245x264, for other sizes there's no problems
I'm attaching a more complete backtrace that includes symbols for libglib and a nautilus screenshot

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

upstream pointed that the issue could be http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129963 which has been fixed to svn, do you think you could try the svn patch and see if it works for you

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the corresponding svn commit is http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/nautilus?view=revision&revision=15148

[Filipe Sousa (natros)]

the patch works :)

i'm attaching the debdiff

thank you for your time

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

thank you for testing it, you might want to subscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors if you want to get that upload, it's not especially useful to backport svn fixes now since jaunty will get GNOME 2.26.1 but since you already did the work there we can as well upload

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package nautilus - 1:2.26.0-0ubuntu6

---------------
nautilus (1:2.26.0-0ubuntu6) jaunty; urgency=low

    - don't regenerate thumbnails every time on some zoom level (lp: #204434)
    - query crasher fix (lp: #341988)
    - don't freeze on some compact view geometries (lp: #350909)
    - dnd in list view should work better (lp: #185387)
