Bug Description
Binary package hint: nedit
I can have an number of nedit windows open on local files. If just one window is open on a file that is on a samba mount, and that mount point hangs up, ALL nedit windows freeze. And nedit never recovers. There doesn't seem to be any sort of timeout. I have to kill the nedit server (possibly losing unsaved work), just because I have no way of telling nedit to discard the one bad document.
1) One hanging window should not hang all other windows
2) No window should hang, even if the mount has a problem
I don't blame the developers for making the server single threaded (well, I do, but I can sympathize), but I do think that if they're going to do something risky, they should do it in another thread so the main thread doesn't hang.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.
