Created attachment 2849 backtrace from duplicate bug on launchpad This bug has been reported to Ubuntu Launchpad as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520118 From the launchpad report: In thunar, in "detailed view" mode, if you enter a subrepertory by using the mouse, once inside you cannot select files, or subfiles to go deeper in the repertories. Neither right- click nor left-click are available. However, if you entered using the keyboard everything works. Once the bug happens, there is no way to interact with the contents of the repertory through the window. You have to close the window to open a new one This bug will happen every time ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Feb 10 23:01:21 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/Thunar InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha i386 (20091209) NonfreeKernelModules: wl Package: thunar 1.0.1-2ubuntu4 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=fr_FR.utf8 LANG=fr_FR.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-11.15-generic SourcePackage: thunar Uname: Linux 2.6.32-11-generic i686 ADDITIONAL: This bug has one duplicate on launchpad; I am attaching the backtrace from that duplicate bug.
FYI, when I had this bug with Thunar, I decided to install PCMan File Manager, but I got the same bug...

One solution is to go into the settings dialog and select “Single click mode”.
Umm, this bug doesn't care if you use single-click or double-click mode, it only cares if you are using detailed view. The only work-arounds that work are to use icon-view or compact-view.

This bug is known to be inside GTK+, and Thunar can't change a bit about it apparently, so what I proposed was a temporary solution to an existing problem. It works fine for me, and is already acknowledged by other users.
yes, I tried it single-click mode, which is the mode I use most of the time. I also tried it in double-click mode, which failed about the same point as single-click mode.

That's probably because you switched to single click mode while the view was already no more clickable. You may have to restart Thunar properly or just open a new window, but it does work...
Well, another false assumption here. I changed thunar to single-click mode, closed it, re-opened it, and clicked in three folders. It froze. I also have restarted the computer several times in both single-click and double-click mode. I am glad it works for you. Now if only it would work for me.

Created attachment 2940 patch exo-tree-view.c to force removal of user_func noop This patch against exo-3.0.106 fixes the issue... The problem is that the code removing the exo_noop selection->user_func is not reached. A better fix is still to be found.
(In reply to comment #0) Point about the keyboard: Once you have double clicked on something, the keyboard won't allow you to select it in the contents pane. You can highlight it, but not manipulate it (namely, execute a file or open a subfolder). You can open open use the keyboard to type in the name of a folder in the address bar at the top, but that's about it. Once you change to compact or icon view though, the keyboard works fine.
Fixed in cd80ae7. Doesn't really matter if we unset the selection function since thunar doesn't use a custom selection function in the detailed view (so no behavior change). However the real bug seems to be gtk_tree_view_get_path_at_pos() in exo_tree_view_button_press_event() which doesn't return a path at the 2nd click, while it does in gtk 2.18.
Cherry-picked in the 4.6 branch in commit c85fffcfa7.
