From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461) Description of problem: When using Nautilus to view files I noticed that opening /dev from Nautilus's "Tree View" causes the file manager to hang at 100% cpu utilization. Viewing the same directoy by double clicking the directory ICON merely causes Nautilus that there are too many files and that some will not be displayed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open Nautilus 2.Click on Tree view 3.Point treeview to /dev Actual Results: Application hangs at full cpu utlization until killed. Expected Results: Display the directory without error. Additional info:
Last time I tried this, it did recover if you waited long enough... it was just really really slow. I haven't tried with latest though.
The problem occurs when expanding the tree view for /dev, not simply clicking on /dev in the tree view. And, it does come back eventually like Havoc says.
Hmm, I got it to hang forever, the second time I tried it.
I can't get it do hang at all with the recent rawhide nautilus. Can you repeat this with nautilus 2.2.5?
I tried this with the Nautilus in 9.0.93 (2.2.4-4). I opened the side pane, selected "tree" from the pulldown, and clicked on dev. I also tried navigating up to / and down to /dev in the main pane. Both actions worked normally. Nautilus took <5 seconds to open all of /dev (~7500 items)
The 2.3.8 in now should be even faster, so I'm closing this.
Confirming 2.3.8-1 is indeed MUCH faster.
