nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV in nautilus_icon_canvas_item_get_drag_surface()

[Etienne V.]

I was doing one by one delete in different folders simply by hitting DEL.
The mouse pointer changed in nautilus.
And then it crashes.

[Carlo Lobrano (c-lobrano)]

We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it any more. But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug is old and Ubuntu changed quite a lot since, there has also been no activity here nor similar reports. Closing since we believe the issue as described is deprecated but feel free to file a new report if you still have problems in recent Ubuntu versions.
