[Bug 402892] Re: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode

I'm adding the following, so searches of this symptom will also find this thread: Once the bug is triggered, it also repeatably affects LibreOffice Calc - if you click-select a worksheet tab or drag-select a set of cells then release mouse, it enters drag-and-drop mode, and (strangely) draws a thi

[Bug 1887315] Re: Nautilus crashes while over-typing search term on remote smb file system

Done `sudo apt remove nautilus-image-converter`. Still crashes the same (tried first without gdb, then with). backtrace attached (produced as before). ** Attachment added: "gdb backtrace output for nautilus bug #1887315" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1887315/+attachm

[Bug 1887315] Re: Nautilus crashes while over-typing search term on remote smb file system

PS. I double-checked that there were no nautilus processes hanging around before removing nautilus-image-converter. And I double-checked that the features of nautilus-image-converter were no longer showing within nautilus before backtracing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

[Bug 1887315] Re: Nautilus crashes while over-typing search term on remote smb file system

Do you want/need me to remove any of the extension packages, or can you take it from here? Regarding where to post my feedback on the DebuggingProgramCrash instructions, I was really looking for some way to give feedback to the authors of the wiki page, not a discussion forum. I've emailed the per

[Bug 1887315] Re: Nautilus crashes while over-typing search term on remote smb file system

Att'd: nautilus extensions installed. The only one I'm aware of having explicitly installed is nautilus-image-converter (and of course nautilus-dbgsym). ** Attachment added: "nautilus extensions installed re. bug #1887315" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1887315/+attach

[Bug 1887315] Re: Nautilus crashes while over-typing search term on remote smb file system

gdb output attached. When overtyping the search field in nautilus within gdb, it didn't crash in the same way: the nautilus window hung (whereas without gdb nautilus crashed). So I did -C in gdb as instructed. But then I got [Wait / Force Quit] over the nautilus window and gdb had become unrespons

I'm following the instructions to upload a backtrace. I've disable apport, but I've floundered on step 1 of Generating the backtrace. "1. Please ensure you have packages with debug symbols installed. You can do this by following the instructions at DebuggingProgramCrash." Can you give more s

Another way to type into the search field over a remote share that makes nautilus crash: type the first character (incorrectly), backspace, then re-type. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1

[Bug 1887315] [NEW] Nautilus crashes while over-typing search term on remote smb file system

Public bug reported: ==Impact== nautilus crashes while typing the term to search a remote directory within an NT file system over the smb protocol. The problem may affect other remote file systems or protocols, but I have only tested these. Repeatable. ==How to repeat== 1. Open Nautilus 2. In

[Bug 1737155] Re: File Chooser takes about 15s to resize itself if screen display scale = 2

Now I've been watching more carefully, this does not just apply to the file chooser window and the system monitor. It applies to many (all?) dialogue windows with a multi-column internal layout, e.g. print. Just now, the first time I tried to re-size the print window, it resized itself glacially s

[Bug 1737155] Re: File Chooser takes about 15s to resize itself if screen display scale = 2

Thinking back, the event that possibly made this bug disappear could have been...: While reading how to submit a bug, I discovered there's a system monitor app (I had always used top from the command line). The first time I resized the system monitor window vertically, it resized itself glacially

[Bug 1737155] [NEW] File Chooser takes about 15s to resize itself if screen display scale = 2

Public bug reported: After opening the File Chooser from any application, it invariably decides to resize itself, moving the right-hand edge glacially slowly, which often takes 15s before you can use the dialogue in any way. If you resize the window horizontally by dragging the handles round the

[Bug 1305699] Re: upowerd crashed with SIGSEGV in service_client_free()

Now it's gone back to how it was, with Ubuntu also throwing up an error window asking if I want to report the segfault. Don't know why that didn't happen the last couple of times even tho the segfault was in syslog. Summary: libimobiledevice-utils has made no difference to this fault for me. I sh

[Bug 1305699] Re: upowerd crashed with SIGSEGV in service_client_free()

Scrub that. Actually it's not solved (for me). upowerd still crashes when I connect my iPhone. It's just that Ubuntu doesn't complain that it has, but I hadn't checked whether the process was still running - it isn't. Also in syslog there's the following error: upowerd[10490]: segfault at 3730

[Bug 1305699] Re: upowerd crashed with SIGSEGV in service_client_free()

@Andy_D, I installed libimobiledevice-utils. First time I connected my iPhone, the screen froze (except mouse pointer), rather than just crashing upowerd syslog didn't log an obvious cause: Subsequently, it seemed to be OK (I've tried once). On the first occas
