Recently, I tried again to work with Linux Mint when developing FPC.
For FPC development I use normally lazarus from trunk, typical updated
very few weeks. For navigation in the code I use "Find in files" from
time to time, e.g. when looking where a certain internal error is
thrown. I call the Find in files dialog by Ctrl-Shift-F. Sometimes,
this action crashes Cinnamon completely: mouse still works but nothing
is clickable anymore (Ctrl-Alt-Fx still works so the kernel is
apparently still fine). Often, Ctrl-Alt-Esc can be used to restart
Cinnamon after some time, sometimes Cinnamon de-freezes after some
second and shows a dialog box that it crashed, restarted and is now in
safe mode (or how it is called). The most annoying part of these
crashes is that all windows are moved to the first virtual desktop
besides that the fact that sometimes only a reboot helps to recover.
Does anybody have an idea where this could come from or how I could
track this down (and no, the normal answer one gets when asking such
things about linux that I should try KDE or Gnome or any other of the
umpteen desktops, is not a solution).
It sounds like a bug in the desktop but:
Is Ctrl-Shift-F one of the keyboard shortcuts handled by the desktop in
your configuration? Does Ctrl-Shift-F work as a shortcut in other
applications?
