** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * Thunar freezes after a period of inactivity. + * The process has to completely stopped so the user can resume usage. + * Users have reported the issue to happen more frequently when files have been modified in the current directory. + * Several affected users have reported the issue resolved with this patch. + + [Test Case] + + * Open Thunar and wait. + * Use another application to create files in the current directory. + * After some time, the application will become unresponsive. + + [Regression Potential] + + * The patch eliminates a deadlock in Thunar's file monitor mechanism, so regression potential is small. + * Since Thunar will no longer freeze over time with this fix, other bugs could become more pronounced. + + [Original Report] + Thunar keeps constantly freezing when I leave it inactive for a while. I haven't seen it freeze while using it, but when I use some other application for a while and switch back to Thunar window it is often completely frozen and I have to kill it. Zero CPU usage, window not responding. This started to happen a couple of weeks ago. I have the exact same problem in two different installations, one on virtual machine on Windows, other on a Asus Zenbook laptop. Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Thunar 1.6.10-2ubuntu1
