[Bug 315565] [NEW] Do indefinitely waits for errant applications

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Hello all,

I went to use Pidgin as normally, by clicking the status icon on my
system tray (or Ubuntu's equivalent), but it hangs - doesn't respond to
mouse clicks or anything.

1. Unresponsive program, calling Pidgin through systray

I then use Do to see if it can create a new message in Pidgin,

2. Call Do, super+space "contact name" / "Chat"

I'm used to Do being particularly speedy, so I run the same Do command
again

3. Call Do again, super+space

I get an error message, in a dialogue balloon from Do's system tray:
"Do Error: A previous action is still running. Please wait for this
action to finish running."

I walked away from my desk to talk to a co-worker, came back, and tried
Do again, and it was freed up, but did not bring up a Pidgin window. I
did step 2. & step 3. again, but this time around step 3. gives no
response at all.

To resolve, I killed  and restarted Pidgin and Do respectively.
