I just found out how to reproduce this: Edit and save a file visible in Thunar using QtCreator.
Apparently QtCreator (4.2.1) creates a temporary file during saving. When I edit a test.txt file and save it, a new test.txt.YY4824 appears in the directory right before Thunar freezes. This explains the behavior I have been seeing as I use QtCreator a lot on both machines. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1679488 Title: Thunar freezes when left inactive for a while To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1679488/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
