Thunar opens twice

[boenki]

I have a shortcut (Starter) to thunar in my XFCE-Panel.
Sometimes Thunar just opens twice!
This happens very rarely but it happens everyday.
So I cannot reproduce this error.
I'm sure i don't doubleclick it.
The command I gave to the Starter is "Thunar" (without startup-notification)

Bug 51156 seems somewhat similar.

[Hidde Brugmans (hcbrugmans-deactivatedaccount)]

reassigning to thunar so the right people will see this, marked 51156 as a dup

[Bensin (lejmer)]

Yes, the bug I reported, 51156, is the same. The problem also appears when opening Thunar from the menu that appears when right-clicking on the desktop and when starting from a terminal.

It happened to me as well. Were any removable media actions involved in your case?

[boenki (boenki)]

No, I have no CDs or USBsticks or else inserted.
It seems to happen when you open Thunar for the first time after login. When I try again it works correctly.

[boenki (boenki)]

tested some more: It really happens after a restart.
I think it occurs when Thunar is not in RAM because it opened twice again after I opened lots of programs at once so linux began to swap.

[Bensin (lejmer)]

No removable media actions involved in my case.

Also, I too recognize the tendency to open twice when lots of programs are open. If, however, I start Thunar, exit it, and logs out and in to Ubuntu again and my first action is opening Thunar, it opens only once. Is RAM not cleared when a user logs out? Perhaps it should?

[Jani Monoses (jani)]

in the unlikely case that one of you is running edgy could you see if it happens with thunar 0.3.2? If not I'll get around to testing it.

[Jani Monoses (jani)]

has this happened recently on edgy?

[Gauvain Pocentek (gpocentek)]

Yes Jani, it still happens.

[Harti (tharti)]

i can confirm this bug on a fresh knot-3-server-install and a few xfce-packages (not xubuntu-desktop)

[Jani Monoses (jani)]

it is fixed upstream and will shortly be uploaded in edgy

[Jani Monoses (jani)]

fix uploaded

[Bensin (lejmer)]

I encountered this problem today, despite several system updates (via Update Manager). Is Thunar not updated then? Am I doing something wrong?

[Cody A.W. Somerville (cody-somerville)]

I'm not convinced this bug is fixed as we keep getting bug reports about it.

Jani: Can you investigate?

Occurs in Ubuntu Xfce 4.3.90.2, on first load of the session

Running version 0.3.1svn-r21789. No newer version available in repositories.

[Steven Keys (steevven1)]

This is still happening to me under Xubuntu 11.10! Sometimes Thunar takes a VERY long time to load after a reboot, and when this happens, it opens twice!

[Björn Schließmann (b-schliessmann)]

Still happening in Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, thunar 1.6.11-0ubuntu0.16.04.1; especially under high system load (high swapping activity).
