Nautilus hangs / freezes when querying Canon raw CR2 file properties

[Arto Huotari]

Right click on the file and select properties. Nautilus may hang. System monitor reports that the process is waiting for "futex_wait_queue_me". Hang is not reproducible every time and situation can be resolved by killing the waiting Nautilus process. Ubuntu 10.04, Lucid, amd64. CR2 file that caused the hang is included as attachment.

Description of the behaviour:
Properties window opens, file properties window is grayed out but no text or properties etc. content is drawn/filled to the properties window. Properties window is a gray empty box and can not be closed by pressing the close window button.

thanks for the report, that works fine on oneiric and natty, please re open though if you manage to reproduce the same with another file in any of those new releases, thanks.

Unfortunately I experience same behaviour under Precise Pangolin 12.04. Seems to be more reproducible though. For some reason Compiz is using 80% of CPU when the Nautilus hangs.
