GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 316438
Drag and drop local -> remote crash
Last modified: 2005-10-14 05:07:35 UTC
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Breezy Badger 1. Drag an email (or three) from the local "Sent" folder to a remote folder on an IMAP account 2. While the message is being copied, drag another email from the "Sent" folder to another remote folder. Pretty much all of X locks up. The cursor remains a 'drag' cursor (looks like a right angle with a smaller arrow in it.) Apps still run (for instance, gkrellm still updates) but no keyboard or mouse input is accepted. Switching out of X to kill evo from the command line was the only way I could get out of it. Note that this only happens when mail is dragged from local to remote. Dragging from remote to local works fine.
Works for me. Though I could not faithfully do step 2 because it copies it quite fast on my machine
Works fine for me too on SuSE 10 Gold Master. I followed both the steps(first i Dragged 3 mails from local "Sent" folder to a remove folder, While message is being copied i dragged another mail from the same "Sent" folder to another remote folder) but X doesn't lockup, the mails are successfully dropped into the remote folders.
Sounds like it could be an Ubuntu bug... the same thing happens on my Ubuntu laptop. Is there anything I could do to get more information about the crash?
