** Description changed: - When renaming files in a folder while re-sorting similarly named files, - thunar crashes fairly often. Apport does not detect the crashes. + [Impact] + * Thunar crashes frequently when renaming files. + * All open Thunar windows are closed, disrupting a user's workflow. + * There have been several patches addressing this issue since the bug + was originally reported, and numerous users are now reporting that + the issue is resolved. + + [Test Case] + * Backup the file you will be testing to a different location. + * Rename or move a file several times. When present, the bug may cause + Thunar to crash on the first rename or after several. + + [Regression Potential] + * The patches have not been tested in all possible configurations, + and could result in unexpected behavior (possibly additional crashing). + * However, with the frequency that this bug crashes Thunar with the + existing package, any reduction in the number of crashes are welcome. + * Since Thunar is a file manager, there is a risk of data loss when + testing this bug and potentially instigating a crash. + + [Original Report] + When renaming files in a folder while re-sorting similarly named files, thunar crashes fairly often. Apport does not detect the crashes.
