** Description changed:
+ [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.
+
+ [Original Report]
+
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
