Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Release: Hardy i386 (up to date 19th April 2008)
Expected:
When an FTP connection gets broken the nautilus window in question gets locked
without locking the entire desktop (at worse case scenario). Ideally some kind
of status dialog that can be canceled.
Actual:
When an FTP connection gets broken the entire desktop (except clock) locks
until Nautilus gives up (around 1 minute).
Details:
We have a problem in our office in which FTP connections get broken after 60
seconds of being idle. When this happens and you try and upload another file
in Nautilus the entire desktop will lock until Nautilus has figured out the
connection is broken and re-tries. It will then upload the file.
When I tried this in KDE4 the worst thing that happened was the upload
showed 'stalled' which could be canceled and worked on the retry. It
would be good if nautilus behaved like this.
How to reproduce:
1. Connect to an FTP server in Nautilus.
2. Disconnect your network connection.
3. Drag and drop a file to the Nautilus FTP window.
4. Try an do anything (I suggest make a tea / coffee)
5. After about a minute the desktop will return back to user control with a
connection error.
