crash makes entire GUI unresponsive #71

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. click on file browser applet
2. first menu pops out
3. I may or may not have right-clicked on a file in the menu -- it hung up
at that moment.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
file browser applet & gnome panel get grayed out as unresponsive. Mouse
still moves, system monitor still tracks CPU usage, etc. Windows did not
respond to mouseovers or keyboard shortcuts. I was able to ctrl-alt-f2, log
in, and killall -9 file-browser-applet. Thankfully, I remembered what it
was called as top didn't show it using much CPU. This probably would have
forced a newer user to hard reset the PC.

using .6.4 on ubuntu 9.10 32bit

thanks for the great app!

Bizarre! I'd never seen this problem before. But not 15 seconds after reading 
this
bug report I encountered it! Fortunately I think I know what it is.

If you right click on a menu-item before the corresponding menu has been 
popped-up
(you have about 1/2 second opportunity to do this, btw), the right-click 
context menu
pops up. At this point the focus gets messed up and is stuck on the pop-up 
menu. Now
clicking anywhere off the menu does not have the usual and expected result of 
closing
the pop-up menu.

The app doesn't hang though, you just have to close the pop-up menu and 
everything
will continue to work as usual. You can close the menu by selecting any of it's
actions (one of the open-with actions is probably the safest). Actually, just
activating the open-with menu and then clicking anywhere off the pop-up menu is
enough to restore the focus.
