GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 707864
File browser plugin: crash when clicking unmounted gvfs bookmark
Last modified: 2019-03-23 20:57:07 UTC
I use the File Browser Panel plugin to edit files over an SFTP bookmark link. If I click on an sftp bookmark before it has been mounted somewhere else, it crashes gedit. It should auto-connect to the mount point instead. I've been experiencing this crash on *some* of my computers since the 3.8 release. I think it didn't crash if the bookmark had been created in a previous version of gnome, but it's hard to be sure if that was really it. This might be related to bug 706714, or maybe that is unrelated and just further annoying me ;-)
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!
I used abrt to file an issue in RedHat's bugzilla (it was easier to get the trace info that way). https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1006951 It looks like it's a segfault here (from the backtrace):
+ Trace 232470
Created attachment 255841 [details] GDB Backtrace
Happening here too in gedit 3.8.3 on Debian Testing.
+ Trace 232543
See bug #721917 for the same backtrace, with another type of GVFS.

I cannot reproduce this bug with GNOME and gedit 3.14. Can you still reproduce this bug with a recent version of GNOME (or at least GIO/GVFS) and gedit 3.14 or 3.16?
I am unable to reproduce in current versions.
