As stated in the report, this bug does not cause the program to crash, merely to hang for a long duration (60 seconds) while it attempts to connect to a share that is no longer available. After 60 seconds the attempt to access that share times out, and the program resumes normal operation.
I have additionally noticed that unmounting the unavailable share (using Nautilus, i.e., right click on share on desktop and unmount it) results in the hang being fixed immediately. I'll also note that step 2 is not necessary to reproduce the bug.... simply doing the following will work: 1.) Mount an SFTP share in Nautilus. 2.) Make share unavailable (e.g., pull network cable out of computer that is providing the share). 3.) Run gedit At this point you'll have to either wait 60 seconds for gedit to start, or you can unmount the share and cause it to start immediately. -- gedit hangs for 60 seconds when inaccessible share mounted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
