Description Anthony DiSante 2008-12-15 09:24:40 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Run gFTP version 2.0.19.

2. Use it for a while, switching back and forth to other windows (browser, file manager, etc) as you normally would.

3. Eventually (could be minutes or hours), one of the times when you switch back to gFTP, it'll appear frozen and it'll be consuming 100% of your CPU until you kill it.


Stack trace:
N/A - it doesn't "crash" in a way that produces a stack trace, but Bugzilla doesn't provide an applicable category; "crash" seems like the closest one.


Other information:
Linux soma 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:06 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Ubuntu 8.10 on an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU.

Also, the "2.0.19" option is missing from the "versions" menu on Bugzilla.
Comment 1 Anthony DiSante 2011-01-05 19:48:20 UTC 
It's now over 2 years later, and I decided to try v2.0.19 again (I've been using the old version instead).  Alas, this bug is still present, using gFTP on Ubuntu 10.10.  So the latest version of gFTP is (still) effectively useless.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2018-07-01 08:41:03 UTC 
gftp is not under active development anymore and has not seen code changes for many years. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gftp/commits/master
The maintainer states that "I would like to hand this project off to someone compotent" on https://www.gftp.org/

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
