Package: thunar
Version: 1.6.10-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
in some cases when I rename several files (each file individually), I
experience frequent segfaults.
The last file that was renamed when the segfault occured ends up with the
correct name but annoyingly the thunar window is closed.
* What led up to the situation?
Renaming a file after at least one file was renamed previously. It can be the
same file.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
Minimal example:
* (optional) create a new folder with a (new, empty) file "test"
* open this folder with thunar
* select file, choose rename (F2 or Mouse)
* rename e.g. to "asdt" by selecting first 3 letters ("tes") and typing "asd",
hit Enter
* rename again to "asdft" by selecting first 3 letters ("asd") and typing
"asdf", then hit Enter -> segfault
Mostly, the segfault can be reproduced when selected letters/strings are
replaced or deleted. It seems that it occurs more often when the new string has
different length (also shorter strings work sometimes) than the replaced
string. I couldn't nail it down completely...
If you just insert the "f" in the example above, it won't do the trick - at
least it didn't when I tested it once.
I tried to get a backtrace with gdb (my first time to use it, though),
following this:
wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace
The segfaults occured much less frequent (only once) - I could find a reference
to libc.so.6. (I don't remember the full message, something with "libc.so.6"
and "SIGSEGV")
After installing the libc6-dbg package, however, I could not get thunar to
crash again (when running it through gdb). Maybe the real culprit is not thunar
but I'm stuck at this point with my investigations...
* What was the outcome of this action?
Thunar exited, printing a "segmentation fault". The file was renamed correctly.
Thanks for looking into this issue!
Regards,
Tobias
