GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 357468
"Paste into" option blinks on context menu for remote folders.
Last modified: 2009-03-25 14:48:17 UTC
Intermittent, I'd say it happens about 75% of the time. I open the context menu on the desktop and after a very short random period (less than a second, usually) the Paste option will enable and disable itself very quickly, giving a noticeable flash. Something is very wrong. :P
Hi Alexander, I'm quite sure I never saw this nor saw any other report for this bug. Assuming this was a temporary/distro problem, closing as OBSOLETE. Please reopen the report if you can still reproduce the bug with the current stable and feel free to report any other bug you find!
Reopening, definitely still happens on multiple systems.
clipboard_targets_received() is trying to set the paste (FM_ACTION_PASTE) and paste into (FM_ACTION_PASTE_FILES_INTO) menu items to insensitive. real_update_paste_menu() is trying to set the menu items to sensitive. Both functions are called very often, hence the flashing. It happens to me when the destination is a CDROM. A read only device, so real_update_paste_menu is wrongly trying to set to sensitive. Why? nautilus_file_can_write() is returning true. This appears in my nautilus debug log: ** (nautilus:6196): WARNING **: Unabled to guess content type for mount: mount doesn't implement content type guessing Which I suspect is related. Check your debug log by 'nautilus --quit' and starting nautilus manually with 'nautilus'. ----- supplementary info-------------------------------------------------- 26 clipboard_targets_received() cvs/gnome2/nautilus/src/file-manager/fm-directory-view.c:6967 0x00000000004830bf 13 real_update_paste_menu() cvs/gnome2/nautilus/src/file-manager/fm-directory-view.c:7344 0x0000000000483d48
I can provide steps to reproduce "paste to folder" flashing. 1. Copy some text in the clipboard. 2. Mount a SMB share with GVFS (simply type smb://<server>/<share> in nautilus) 3. Right click on the SMB share that now appears on your desktop Result : Paste to folder is continuously flashing. Tested on ubuntu intrepid alpha 5.

Confirming for 2.24 and changing summary. Actually, I think "paste" and "paste into" blinking could even be two separate issues.
Fixed in gvfs trunk and gnome-2-24: 2008-11-04 Tomas Bzatek <tbzatek {at} redhat.com> * client/gdaemonmount.c: (g_daemon_mount_guess_content_type_sync): Return an empty array on success when no content type matches (#357468)

Happens again with 1.2
Can this be bug 567635?
Most likely, yes, my mistake.
