When called on the empty desktop, the nautilus_view_get_selection (view) function results in a NULL result. At that point, there is no further need to continue the function execution and it is safe to exit as no resources need to be released.
This patch checks for selection being NULL and returns preventing nautilus from crashing. Please comment on this and if appropriate merge the patch in the nautilus package. ** Patch added: "patch to fix bug #1318688" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1318688/+attachment/4110698/+files/fix_ctrl_alt_o_crash.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1318688 Title: nautilus crashes in action_open_item_location_callback() call in nautilus-view.c when pressing Ctrl+Alt+O directy on the desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1318688/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
