Solved (for me): The Gnome setting "Select windows when the mouse moves over them", combined with the (non-default) bigger size of the VFS / "Open File" dialog causes the following to happen: The "Connect to SFTP" window opens, but gets covered completely below the "Open File" dialog.
WORKAROUNDS (for this): 1. Move away the "Open File" dialog by pressing Alt and clicking anywhere in the window (you cannot move it away using the title bar) ("Alt" is probably the default in gnome-window-propertiees - otherwise try the Super/Win key) 2. Deactivate "Select windows when the mouse moves over them" However, reading this bug carefully again, it's not what happened to the reporter or other commentator probably (sorry for the noise). It should get addressed however, too and I'll forward it to the jEdit bug tracker. -- freeze when using jedit open remote with sftp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
