2017-05-25 00:02:00 Sean Davis description Thunar keeps constantly freezing when I leave it inactive for a while. I haven't seen it freeze while using it, but when I use some other application for a while and switch back to Thunar window it is often completely frozen and I have to kill it. Zero CPU usage, window not responding. This started to happen a couple of weeks ago. I have the exact same problem in two different installations, one on virtual machine on Windows, other on a Asus Zenbook laptop. Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Thunar 1.6.10-2ubuntu1 [Impact] * Thunar freezes after a period of inactivity. * The process has to completely stopped so the user can resume usage. * Users have reported the issue to happen more frequently when files have been modified in the current directory. * Several affected users have reported the issue resolved with this patch. [Test Case] * Open Thunar and wait. * Use another application to create files in the current directory. * After some time, the application will become unresponsive. [Regression Potential] * The patch eliminates a deadlock in Thunar's file monitor mechanism, so regression potential is small. * Since Thunar will no longer freeze over time with this fix, other bugs could become more pronounced.
