nemo crashed with SIGSEGV in on_menu_destroyed()

[Lonnie Lee Best]

When I received this crash notification, I had just gotten through cutting and pasting 2 files. One file was very small, and the other was around 17gigs. At around the same time I deleted 2 other file (around the same size for each) and emptied the trash using the trash icon on Ubuntu's launcher bar. This all I can say.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Lonnie Lee Best (launchpad-startport)]

I submitted this bug back in February.

I'm still seeing this crash almost every time I attempt to close nemo.

[robin (robinp)]

Is anyone investigating this bug?

If not, any suggestions where to start?

[robin (robinp)]

This will not be fixed upstream, authors are not interested and have moved to v3.4

https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/941

It is not supported by Canonical, so perhaps time to move to a later version.

[Fantu (fantonifabio)]

this seems solved in newer nemo, is there someone that still reproduce it in nemo version of bionic?

[Lonnie Lee Best (launchpad-startport)]

16.04.5 was recently released, but this bug still remains.

[Fantu (fantonifabio)]

this is solved in nemo 3.0 with:
