Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
- open a folder in Nautilus
- double click on a text file that will open by default in GEdit
=> the cursor starts showing a waiting animation (rotating dots in a circle)
Expected behavior
=> As soon as the file is opened in Gedit, the cursor waiting animation should
stop, wherever you move the cursor
Observed behavior:
=> while you keep the cursor within Gedit, it is an arrow as expected, but as
soon as it move it outside gedit and/or click again on the Nautilus window, the
cursor keeps showing the waiting animation for several seconds, about 10
seconds no matter what you do. After that time, cursor goes back to normal.
This is a regression that has appeared in Ubuntu 13.04. Worked fine in
12.10
Now I realize, the bug may be in Gedit rather than Nautilus. This doesn't
happen with files opened by default by other programs.
However, if the behavior of the cursor outside the called application
(i.e. Gedit) depends on the called application, then something is badly
wrong (either in implementation or design) in either the calling
application (i.e. Nautilus) or the system (i.e. Unity).
