[Bug 2105946] Re: Nautilus crash when press arrow keys in a empty directory

 

Hello Cristiano, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gtk4 into noble-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk4/4.14.5+ds-0ubuntu0.5 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-noble. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  Nautilus crash when press arrow keys in a empty directory

Status in gtk4 package in Ubuntu:

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in gtk4 source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed
Status in nautilus source package in Noble:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * When pressing the arrow keys while viewing an empty directory in
  Nautilus, the file browser freezes then crashes.

  [ Test Plan ]

   * Navigate to an empty directory in nautilus either manually or by using `nautilus <dir>`.
   * Press the arrow keys, nothing should happen and nautilus should not crash.

   To check against regressions:
   * Navigate to a non-empty directory and press arrow keys again, the first press should select the first item in the directory, and subsequent presses should select items in the expected direction.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * This is a very small backport that only changes the logic when
  using the arrow keys when selecting items in directories, but regular
  functioning in non-empty directories should be checked anyway.

  [ Other Info ]

   * Upstream fix:

  [ Original Description ]

  Nautilus crashes when using the arrow keys to navigate within an empty
  directory (a directory with no files). This issue is particularly
  disruptive for users who prefer keyboard navigation.

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Open the file manager (nautilus).
  2. Navigate to a directory that contains no files (an empty directory).
  3. Press the arrow keys (up, down, left, right) to try to navigate within the empty directory.
  4. Nautilus crashes.
