Public bug reported:
This affects an installation of Ubuntu 14.04 on a Lenovo laptop.
When applications like nautilus or Bluefish are connected to a remote fileshare
using sftp (ssh) via a lan connection, if the connection is lost and
re-established the old process seems to hang blocking attempts to save data or
use Nautilus in any way.
This typically occurs when the connection is either lost accidentally or
when the laptop is suspended and then unsuspended causing a loss of
wireless connection.
The workaround is to kill the gvsftp process manually and then recreate
the remote connection using Nautilus.
This bug leads to data loss if, for instance, the laptop is closed
(starting suspend mode) while in the middle of a task that must be
saved.
