I think that file-roller is not the main problem. And here is the reason why:
I tried to reproduce the bug on a different test system. Downloaded linuxmint-12-lxde-cd-32bit.iso and started it in virtualbox. Linux Mint LXDE uses a combination of pcmanfm and ( instead of file-roller) the xarchiver as its default archive manager. When I first dragged a file from within an archive to the desktop, xarchiver crashed (without freezing the system). Then I reopened the archive and this time the dnd action was successful. Then next time --> crash. Next time --> success. Next time --> crash. Next time --> success. .... So, every other time, the dnd action crashes the archiver program. This behaviour is reproducable by file-roller as well as the xarchiver, which IMHO rules out file-roller as the cause for the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878993 Title: x.org lockup after dragging archived file to desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pcmanfm/+bug/878993/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
