thunar stalls after manipulating files with other programs

[Thomas Schweikle]

thunar stalls after mass manipulating files with other programs. thunar wont react on any mouse or keyboard action. Sometimes for hours.

Seen this with jpg-files changing tags. Changing only a few files does nothing changing many files (more than three) stalls thunar.

Did installing the thunar update (version 1.6.11-0ubuntu0.16.04.2) fix the problem for you?
