I've always liked the Norton Commander style of a 2-pane file
manager, and I'm currently trying Gnome Commander under Trixie with
xfce. But I have two problems with it - either bugs, or possibly
something I've done wrong installing it.
Are the following known bugs? I haven't found any mention of them by
googling.
**********' Problem (a):
When trying to enter a directory in which it does not
have read permission, it immediately crashes. Example: create a
directory with mode 111, and try to enter it with Gnome Commander.
When it crashes, it leaves something like this in syslog:
026-02-02T15:32:07.919765+01:00 andy kernel: gnome-commander[297175]:
segfault at 942296e8 ip 000055997ac78517 sp 00007ffcb15404b0 error 4 in

**********' Problem (b):
It shows the selected file in the not-selected pane as blank.
I have an example in the form of 3 screen shots:
https://www.dybdal.dk/gnomecmdbug/Screenshot1.png :
In Screenshot1.png, the file left2 in the left pane is selected. But
notice that the place where right4 could be expected in the right
pane, there is a blank line.
https://www.dybdal.dk/gnomecmdbug/Screenshot2.png :
I then clicked on the right1 file (right pane), and now left2 (the
formerly selected file) became blank.
https://www.dybdal.dk/gnomecmdbug/Screenshot3.png :
I then clicked on left5, and right1 became blank.
