Public bug reported:
To reproduce:
1. Create a text file (foo.txt) on the desktop and open in gedit.
2. Type a few lines in the file and save it.
Expected: the file saves more or less instantly.
Observed:
- The file takes several seconds to save.
- The following lines appear in the journal:
Apr 26 22:20:40 khaeru-laptop gnome-shell[3205]: JS ERROR: TypeError: fileItem
is null
_updateDesktopIfChanged@/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/desktop-icons@csoriano/desktopManager.js:339:17
_monitorDesktopFolder/<@/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/desktop-icons@csoriano/desktopManager.js:299:89
Notes:
- Repeating #1 and #2 with a file that is in another folder (i.e., not on the
desktop), the file saves instantly, and the log messages do not appear.
- This might be a duplicate/alternate description of #1816205.
- Discovered while trying to diagnose #1826219.
