Description Gary Johnston 2005-04-26 09:44:58 UTC 
Using latest Linux internal build, gnome nautilus 2.6.1 and gnome gok 1.0.3

Steps to reproduce:
* start gok
* open up nautilus (click "Documents" on the desktop)
* create a new folder in documents folder
* open the new folder and make sure the focus is on the icon area
* Go to Compose and click on Ctrl + top button (any of the 5 purple buttons at
the top that you select a predicted word from)

Nautilus will crash.  Crash occurs on dwell and autoscanning modes.

Easiest way to reproduce the bug without involving Ally/GOK is:
1)open up nautilus (click "Documents" on the desktop)
2)create a new folder in documents folder
3)open the new folder and press Ctrl+Space.

Nautilus will crash.
Comment 2 Vinay M R 2005-04-28 07:33:46 UTC 
Ctrl+Space is used to toggle the selection state of the current icon. When user
press Ctrl+Space, it will try to toggle selection on an icon in empty folder.
Hence set_keyboard_focus() asserts leading to nautilus crash. 

So, in keyboard_space function, check if an icon is found, before trying to
alter focus.

Attaching a small patch.
