I am on xubuntu 6.06, Thunar 0.3.1svn-r21789 (Xfce 4.3.90.2) The scenario is: Open thunar, press / and a dialog box opens to goto the folder you want. I start typing /usr/share/ and once the ending / is entered thunar just segfaults and crashes. The same can be repeated with /etc and some other folders. It seems like an issue with number of sub folders in a directory. If this isn't already caught and fixed, i can create an incremental num of sub-directories and test which case triggers the fail.
changing title to something more appropriate.
Please attach a backtrace of the crash.
Is this enabled in release builds? how can i generate a backtrace? thanks.
See http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gdb.php.
thanks. i dumped core and got the backtrace from it: (gdb) bt #0 0xb7ddf159 in gtk_tree_view_set_fixed_height_mode () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #1 0xb7ddf44d in gtk_tree_view_set_fixed_height_mode () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #2 0xb7ddf50b in gtk_tree_view_set_fixed_height_mode () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #3 0xb7840bf2 in g_child_watch_add () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0xb783e8d6 in g_main_context_dispatch () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #5 0xb7841996 in g_main_context_check () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #6 0xb7841cb8 in g_main_loop_run () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #7 0xb7ca4363 in gtk_dialog_run () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #8 0x080a5f29 in ??

That's fixed in trunk. IIRC Jani already uploaded an updated Thunar package to the Ubuntu repository. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1891 ***
I have just updated/dist-upgraded, ubuntu 6.06. Can confirm this problem is still around. Perhaps the fixed packages were checked into edgy repo?
There's a new thunar but only in the development version of ubuntu (edgy) When the next version is released it will be put in dapper as well.
