Comment 10 for bug 1679488

I can confirm this issue on our computers running Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS with Xfce.

As soon as qtcreator (3.5.1+dfsg-2ubuntu2) autosave a file, Thunar (1.6.11-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) freezes.

And also I can confirm that this behavior doesn't happen when downgrading to Thunar version 1.6.10-2ubuntu1.

sudo apt-get install thunar=1.6.10-2ubuntu1 thunar-data=1.6.10-2ubuntu1 libthunarx-2-0=1.6.10-2ubuntu1

Btw... it is independent if qtcreator was started from Thunar or from start menu. As long as Thunar shows the files within the directory where qtcreator autosave these files, Thunar will freeze.
