** Description changed:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When working on a remote filesystem (SSH in my case,) I presume my
- sometimes loses connection & has to reconnect. This is usually
+ machine sometimes loses connection & has to reconnect. This is usually
transparent, but sometimes takes a moment. Essentially if I want to
update a file or change directories, it takes slightly longer than usual
if it hasn't been used for a while. This is fine, and a part of normal
operation I presume.
However, when I go to drag & drop a file after this has happened, the
cursor gets caught in the middle of a drag & drop operation until the
connection is established again.
What happens:
* I leave an SSH connection to sftp://ash.ms/ open in nautilus for some time,
and do some work elsewhere.
* I come back and drag a file from the remote server to my desktop.
* Mid-drag, the system realises it's no longer connected (I presume), and the
icon I'm dragging stops being dragged. I can move the cursor around the screen
freely, but it is stuck in the hand-drag shape. I can not click anything,
select another window, use any key combinations (aside ctrl+alt+backspace), or
switch desktops.
* Eventually the system unlocks (after twenty seconds or so, the last time.)
The icon I was dragging is either released or still attached to my cursor
depending on whether I un-clicked my mouse button during this process, and I
can successfully drag files once more.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, but this has been happening for quite some time.
