Description Donnavon Hallgren 2006-09-26 01:31:03 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When copying a file into a folder, having that folder open in nautilus and refreshing 2 - 3 times
causes cpu usage to skyrocket and stay there even when browsing out of folder. Killing nautilus
and having it reload brings it back to normal. I found this bug also posted in the ubuntu forums.

Steps to reproduce:
1. download or copy large file into another folder.
2. browse to folder file is copying into
3. hit refresh 2 - 3 times


Actual results:
cpu usage usually jumps to 70-95% and stays there until nautilus is killed and reloaded.

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
Yes, happens every time.

I'm seeing this too... and I usually also need to kill the panel when this happens because it uses a an unnaturally big amount of memory, too...

I'm seeing this too. From attaching gdb to the process it seems nautilus gets stuck somewhere in g_main_context_iterate().

Doing an strace I get flooded with the following:

time(NULL)                              = 1161377364
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
gettimeofday({1161377364, 832785}, NULL) = 0
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=19, events=POLLIN}, {fd=18, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}], 13, 0) = 0

I get this too.
Comment 5 Mark D. 2006-10-24 16:59:51 UTC 
I'm getting this too. strace shows nautilus is POLLing a million times a second.
