Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
(In Preferences->Behavior I have "always open in browser" set to false, so I use the spatial Nautilus mode.) When I open my Desktop, either from the Places menu, or my opening it from Home, sometimes Nautilus will start hanging (CPU at 100%, probably some infinite loop), until I kill or force-quit it. Sometimes I will open the Desktop in a window to delete all *~ files (not shown on the "real" Desktop), and sometimes I will resize the Desktop window. Any of these actions can trigger that effect. Right now it seems that deleting one ~ file triggered it, so every time I reopen the Desktop window Nautilus will hang. Maybe this is related to the Window and the Desktop having different layouts (because they're open at the same time)? not sure. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Nautilus hangs when showing Desktop in window https://launchpad.net/bugs/89868 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
