This has affected me on every Ubuntu since 9.04 at least. Working with remote files through sftp was a PITA. It was one of the reasons for me to end up using Kate. Kate doesn't use GVFS, so it won't hang, just reconnects when needed.
I'm returning slowly to Gedit as it evolves, so maybe I will report more data about this soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/631184 Title: Operations hangs on ftp and sftp (ssh) because of server silently dropping connection due to no prior activity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/631184/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
