This report has been filled here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+bug/164552 "when searching for the info. on ip 146.134.8.125 in the whois tab in network tools it freezes - network tools 2.20.0 and having to force quit it to exit out of it.." " adding that these ips do the same also one just acts like it is still downloading whois info even tho it isn't and it was done.. 190.154.124.200 200.86.35.235 24.195.183.241 - finishes getting whois info. however bar at bottom acts like it has NOT. 200.101.177.110 " Thanks,
It might be a problem with the pipe's communication between whois and gnome-nettool.
Created attachment 125911 [details] [review] Fix freezes in howis tab I have solved this bug. The problem was with particular char for example with address 146.134.8.125 one string is: "Marco Antônio Raupp" I have solved with changing the encoding (local charset -> ISO-8859-1) only for this problematic string.

The encoding can not be set back to the previous enconding if still it has data. I fixed the patch and formatted according the programming guidelines.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
