gnome-system-monitor freezes during free space query on inactive network mounts (cifs)

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

either display a waiting dialog (and optionally a button to abort the df call on network mounts) or fetch the free space asynchronously (display a "fetching..." label instead of the percentage bar while the retrieval is in progress)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I would report this upstream, but the link provided in the post above seems to lead to an *Ubuntu* bugtracker, and one that confronts me with seemingly only a wall of text. Please could someone provide a fairly-direct, correct URL. Thanks.
