Bug Description
When starting font-manager it queries the installed font files. Until 16.04 this process has been fairly fast. Since 16.04 it takes up to 20 minutes, and looks like the app died: loading bar gets stuck and switching the window back from the background shows an empty window.
2 ways to reproduce:
a)
- launch font-manager
expected result: font-manager loads quickly and is ready for operation
result: font-manager faints a crash but is in fact alright after 20 minutes querying the installed font files
b)
- once launched, install new fonts
- press "reload now" when prompted
expected result: font-manager loads quickly and is ready for operation
result: font-manager faints a crash but is in fact alright after 20 minutes querying the installed font files
