F17: gedit: drag & drop freezes forever mouse pointer on drag mode

[Pedro Francisco]

I need to confirm a bug.

Open one gedit window (MUST BE FROM GNOME-SHELL, either from ALT+F2
and 'gedit' or using the gnome-shell menus).

On a command line do, for example:
$ gedit ~/.bashrc
_Another_ gedit window should open.

To allow you to resume your work afterwards, on another console, do:
$ sleep 15; killall gedit

Try to drag and drop the ".bashrc" tab to the other gedit window.

Watch your mouse pointer freeze on drag mode, disabling it
effectively; keyboard does not seem to respond as well. After ~15
seconds, when gedit windows are killed, you'll get your mouse and
keyboard back.

Can anyone confirm?

Not easily, no. For a start, I've never quite figured out the trigger
for the case where a new window opens instead of the document opening in
the existing window: for me just following the above steps doesn't do
it, the .bashrc opens in the first gedit window, so I don't get two
windows at all).

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes it stopped working for me as well....

Try this:
$ gedit &
$ killall nautilus ; nautilus /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-17 &

Now, double-click the "GPL" file. A new gedit window should appear.

To allow you to resume your work afterwards, on another console, do:
$ sleep 15; killall gedit

Try to drag and drop the gedit tab "GPL" to the other gedit window.

Watch your mouse pointer freeze on drag mode, disabling it
effectively; keyboard does not seem to respond as well. After ~15
seconds, when gedit windows are killed, you'll get your mouse and
keyboard back.

Can anyone confirm?

Yes. Dragging the _tab_ of the gedit, that has loaded the GPL file,
to the empty gedit results in a freeze as described.

I've visited  http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/gedit  and found:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/808789

Steps on how to reproduce attached to that ticket.

Thanks!

I SIGSEGV'd gedit during the hang and uploaded the backtrace to that
bug report, I hope it's worth something.
