GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 758243
[Network] cannot abort connecting to a server
Last modified: 2017-08-28 22:22:45 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. open nautilus 2. activate "Other locations" 3. in "Enter server address" (bottom edge) insert a sftp URL to any server that will take a long time to response or let your connection time out. E.g.: sftp://user@example.com 4. press "Connect" 5. press "Abort" What should happen: Connection should be aborted freeing resources and UI. It should work as if you were running ssh on terminal and pressed Ctrl+C. What happens: Nautilus/gvfs/whatever still tries to connect and doesn't abort. The "Connect to server" feature of nautilus is rendered unusable until connection fails e.g. by timeout. I checked with ssh on terminal: Nautilus seems to be busy for the same duration that ssh will take before returning when trying the same login on the same server. Affected versions: nautilus-3.18.2-1.fc23.x86_64 gvfs-1.26.2-1.fc23.x86_64 glib2-2.46.2-1.fc23.x86_64
This issue also affects connecting to a ftps:// server. Changing title to reflect general problem.
