Deleting a file in tree view crashes the Nautilus instance

[Pete Morgan]

Binary package hint: nautilus

1) within a directory create a sub directory
2) create a "subsub" dir or add a file to the sub directory
3) Switch to tree view
4) select the subdir and select "move to Wastebasket"
5) the instance of Nautilus crashes, the files are however deleted..

* a folder
** sub dir << deleteing this in tree view panel crashes app
*** subsub dir or file(s)

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Could you install nautilus-dbg and get a backtrace (the bug-buddy dialog to send the bug upstream has it)?

[Pete Morgan (pm-daffodil)]

Ubuntu Dapper (live online update of Breezy)
Gnome 2.14.1

Have installed nautilus-dbg? where do I go from here.. tried to start nautilus-dbg from the command line but not there.. ug buddy is also installed but see no errors..(relative newbie to Linux on desktop)

Can u point me in the right direction ?

Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/nautilus'

That backtrace doesn't look like a crash. Are you sure that's not simply a bug #36500 (the window being closed because the directory it represents is moved away)?

[Pete Morgan (pm-daffodil)]

Have been pursuing this on Gnome's bugzilla where the issue has finally been fixed and closed. Expected fix with next release of Nautilus

Its not so much a bug, rather a feature (hence no errors) and had been corrected when deleteting directories. ONLY in the tree..

Cant find the issue in Bugzilla.gnome. (very slow site is down at the moment).
But as far as I'm concerned this issue can be flagged as closed.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you point the upstream bug? Are you sure that's not a duplicate of bug #36500?

[Pete Morgan (pm-daffodil)]

Here's my report on Bugzilla.gnome
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343696

Which is a duplicate report of
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336724

Which has the patch and the magic words..

"The attached patch was committed to HEAD and will be included in Nautilus 2.16."

thanks Christian Neumair

I love OSS ;-)

[Pete Morgan (pm-daffodil)]

Its NOT a bug, its something to do with "spatial" mode although I dont know what that means ..

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

you really don't want to read my comments and reply about the duplicate question, anyway it points to the same upstream bug so marking it as duplicated

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

note that the bug is already fixed to edgy and is not a crasher, just an unexpected behaviour
