Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
When working on a remote filesystem (SSH in my case,) I presume my sometimes loses connection & has to reconnect. This is usually transparent, but sometimes takes a moment. Essentially if I want to update a file or change directories, it takes slightly longer than usual if it hasn't been used for a while. This is fine, and a part of normal operation I presume. However, when I go to drag & drop a file after this has happened, the cursor gets caught in the middle of a drag & drop operation until the connection is established again. What happens: * I leave an SSH connection to sftp://ash.ms/ open in nautilus for some time, and do some work elsewhere. * I come back and drag a file from the remote server to my desktop. * Mid-drag, the system realises it's no longer connected (I presume), and the icon I'm dragging stops being dragged. I can move the cursor around the screen freely, but it is stuck in the hand-drag shape. I can not click anything, select another window, use any key combinations (aside ctrl+alt+backspace), or switch desktops. * Eventually the system unlocks (after twenty seconds or so, the last time.) The icon I was dragging is either released or still attached to my cursor depending on whether I un-clicked my mouse button during this process, and I can successfully drag files once more. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, but this has been happening for quite some time.
