Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nedit
I can have an number of nedit windows open on local files. If just one
window is open on a file that is on a samba mount, and that mount point
hangs up, ALL nedit windows freeze. And nedit never recovers. There
doesn't seem to be any sort of timeout. I have to kill the nedit server
(possibly losing unsaved work), just because I have no way of telling
nedit to discard the one bad document.
1) One hanging window should not hang all other windows
2) No window should hang, even if the mount has a problem
I don't blame the developers for making the server single threaded
(well, I do, but I can sympathize), but I do think that if they're going
to do something risky, they should do it in another thread so the main
thread doesn't hang.
** Affects: nedit (Ubuntu)
