** Description changed:

- Ubuntu 18.04 is an LTS and still used by many people including me (I still 
have it with cinnamon on 2 my computers), I saw 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nemo/+bug/1861968 I already had in 
past and easy to reproduce I searched the upstream patches to solves it, I also 
added another small patch that fix another crash case I had reproduced 
(https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/2248), I did a patch for a SRU for 
bionic (in attachment).
+ [Impact]
+ There are some cases where nemo crash on umount for example 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nemo/+bug/1861968
+ this has occurred and has been reported by many users (even outside of here)
+ I also had this issue and like other users before know it is cause the fails 
of files copy running in another nemo window.
+ In case of some operation like copy it is significant, even more so with 
cutting operations.
+ This is solved by upstream patch 
https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/commit/4ffea61b26033da1305ab8287058044065a1c101
 in nemo 4.0.0 and also backported in 3.8.6.
+ 
+ I included also a small patch that solves another crash case 
(https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/2248):
+ 
https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/commit/b19f8d2e60df82628bbf609522a6a5b20fa4e72c
+ Applied upstream in nemo 4.6.0
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ For the crash on umount, simply umount something from nemo and nemo will 
crash (closing also any operation, like copy/cut running in it).
+ 
+ For the second patch keep mouse clicked when rename file/folder and
+ press enter and nemo will crash.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ The first patch about the crash on umount is easy to reproduce, many users 
already reported it after it caused problems with ongoing operations.
+ Patch is upstream for over 2 years and I have not found regressions about it 
from a fast search.
+ 
+ The second patch is rarer to happen but in some cases doing some
+ operations quickly could happen so it seems useful to backport this too
+ as it is a small patch with minimal impact and used upstream for a year
+ already.
+ 
+ 
+ I did a patch for a SRU for bionic (in attachment).
  I also build and tested it: 
https://launchpad.net/~fantonifabio/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntu-fixes
+ I used on my notebook (used regularly) and I have not seen regressions until 
now.
