If you like, you can try building thunar from source (Best use the 1.8.14 tag):
https://wiki.xfce.org/thunar/dev/build_and_run

(If you have root/sudo on your system, you can install it as well)

@alexxcons: I haven't been able to try either v1.7 nor v1.8 since this is my
office PC and I'm bound to xubuntu LTS versions. I do have updated to Thunar to
v1.6.15 due to updating to Xubuntu 18.04.3 recently.

I haven't experienced it "yet", but I'm only using this version for a few days
now.

Sorry for not being able to report on the latest versions :(
And thank you for your time!

I know this is XFCE not (x)ubuntu bug tracking, but what would be your
suggestions for properly installing e.g. Thunar v1.8.x for testing?

Did you take a try for thunar 1.8.x meanwhile ? Can you still reproduce the bug
there ?
(Because for me it works fine there)

I don't think that this error message is related, if you're using 1.6.11 (you
didn't answer me) this message was fixed in 1.6.12 IIRC.

* pkill does have a case insensitive option, using Arch here, but even the
version present in Ubuntu 16.10 provides this option.

btw, here are error messages that appeared (although I couldn't link them to
this issue):

(thunar:21642): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion

Interesting:
I've killed (*) the thunar process this morning and started it from the shell.
Result: The issue did not occur for a whole day. Hm...


(*) pkill does not have a "-i" option, but I assume you meant "case
insensitive" (like "grep -i"), since the thunar process is "Thunar".

Thunar doesn't detach, it's already running in background, you may pkill -i
thunar to be able to run thunar in a terminal and get its output.
The symptoms are very likely to be caused by the application hanging.
I just noticed that you selected the 1.6.11 version for this bug report, can
you try to update to 1.6.12? Bug #13481 was fixed in that release, maybe it's
related somehow.

I've tried switching "Location Selector" from "Toolbar" to "Pathbar" style to
see what happens:
The pathbar-buttons exhibit the same behavior.

It seems like Thunar is performing some kind of action in the background that
causes it to "wait". Any ideas what this could be?

Noticed something very interesting just now:
I waited a few seconds, then the buttons worked again.
O.O

Roger that :)

I'll try to collect more infos about this issue.
Still looking to find a pattern.
It also happened with local drives yesterday, and it happens at least once in
about 2 hours.
Just clicking the buttons. No dragging/right-clicking (that I'm aware of).

btw: Correction of my above statement:
Buttons resume normal functionality *only* when changing the folder in the
address line.
*not* by clicking on a folder in the GUI.


When encountering problems with GUI applications I usually try starting them
from the shell, so I see their "background" output in the console. Thunar
detaches from the shell though :(

Is there any way to run thunar in something like debug-mode?
Currently swamped with other work, but I'll can try setting up a VM to test
thunar-git.
If I do, I'll let you know.

Thanks for your help!

Not yet, I'm about to release 1.7.0 (development release), maybe next week,
hopefully someone will provide a PPA for that version.
If you're curious enough, you can try xfce-test (uses docker) or spin up an
Arch (or Manjaro) VM to use the thunar-git package from AUR.
Meanwhile, if you're able to collect more info about the issue it would be very
helpful. I'm using thunar from git and tried lots of things to reproduce this
bug to no avail. Are you just click on the arrow buttons with the left button,
or are you dragging and right-clicking? Is there a pattern? How hard is it
reproduce this on your side?

Is there a repository for that - or would I have to build my own?

If you're brave enough, try thunar from git master or await the next
development release (1.7.0), it's gtk3-based, maybe the problem is gone (maybe
not).
