Thunar frequently stops redrawing the folder view (temporarily)
Status:
RESOLVED: MOVED

Description salexan2001 2016-04-30 23:04:55 CEST
The following behavior of thunar is visible on multiple machines, each running Arch Linux with Xfce 4.12 and thunar 1.6.10:

After an (usually) unpredictable number of navigation steps the main window of thunar appears to be stuck and not responding to mouse and keyboard input. This can happen when navigating with the mouse or the keyboard. When double-clicking a directory or navigating in another way during this "stuck" state, the title bar changes its title to the correct value. This occurs quite frequently: During writing this bug report I was able to reproduce this behavior several times with the following method:
- From the home directory I navigated to a folder 4 levels down the hierarchy (using the keyboard).
- I returned to the home directory using Alt+Up.
- As soon as I was back at the ~/ level it become stuck.

The main menu can still be used then, only the folder view, the side bar and the address bar are stuck / not redrawn.

As soon as the window is resized, it is not stuck anymore and can be used normally.

I have seen people complaining in several forums about a similar behavior, but I haven't found a bug report related to it.

Compositing is enabled in my Xfce.
