Thunar segfaults when browsing to folder

Description johan_vdp 2009-07-19 00:24:49 CEST
When browsing to specific folders Thunar will disappear.
Starting Thunar from the console is not that helpful, it will show:
Segmentation fault
dmesg shows a little more info:
Thunar[2648]: segfault at 1ebd048d52 ip 0000000000450b2a sp 00007fffe3d08e78 error 4 in Thunar[400000+85000]

As you can see, I tried multiple times. Thunar only segfaults on some folders, and does it consistently when that folder is clicked (in order to expand it).
Using the console I see no reason why, the folders appear to have the same rights and restrictions as others.

>Thunar --version
  Thunar 1.0.1 (Xfce 4.6.1)
>uname -a

Any suggestions, or steps that I can perform to help resolve this?

I am getting what I think is is the same issue, with just one specific folder. Thunar just vanishes, and if run from an xterm the only message I get is "Segmentation Fault".

I get the same problem though in XFCE on both a Slackware laptop, and an Ubuntu desktop PC in a server role. The Ubuntu machine runs samba, and with the share mounted with the use of fusesmb on my laptop when I browse to

/home/myuser/network/WORKGROUP/SERVER/lvm/stuff/General Crap/video/#TV

a fraction of a second after clicking into #TV, Thunar vanishes. I think it is when Thunar looks at the contents of #TV, which are:

The same thing happens when browsing the local filesystem on the Ubuntu PC, in an XFCE session over VNC. There is also a similarly named directory structure on another hard drive, and Thunar doesn't crash there, so I think it's contents related rather than name related.... (pure speculation)

HTH, keep up the good work!

Whoops, that's not right. It is:

Thunar doesn't respond to attempts to open folders via double click.
First folder double click works, but subsequent folder clicks are ignored.

When running from terminal:
/usr/share/themes/MurrinaCappuccino/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:41: Murrine configuration option "scrollbar_color" is no longer supported and will be ignored.

$ Thunar --version

Comment 4 Nick Schermer editbugs 2012-09-26 12:42:22 CEST
Please reopen if this is still an issue with the latest Thunar release.
