Bug Description

Lubuntu 11.10

file-roller:
  Installed: 3.2.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.2.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.2.0-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages

Expect file to be dragged to appropriate location in pcmanfm and upon dropping, the file is extracted from the archive into that location.

Instead, severe crash (freeze) after dialog about lacking permissions.

The zip is in ~/Downloads and the location to extra to is ~. Works fine without drag and drop (using the extract icon). Running from terminal, no relevant output is given. Couldn't find anything in any logs but if someone can suggest something that would be great.

I confirm this bug, which is probably a duplicate of bug #878993. This bug is extremely annoying, since not only file-roller gets frozen, but the entire desktop.

The only workaround that I found was to press alt-f1 in order to get tty1, login, type "ps aux | grep file-roller" and kill the process (kill -9 pid_of_file_roller).

It it curious that anyway file-roller id not killed, but anyway, everything comes responsive again.
