nautilus crash: assertion failed: (NAUTILUS_IS_VIEW (view)) with overlay-scrollbar

Happened when mounting three partitions consecutively.

For me, that happened when i'm trying to close nautilus.

for me happened when copying file as root from one partition to another
my logs are here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/744193

The crash started on the same day that version was uploaded

"nautilus (1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu9) natty; urgency=low

  * 17_disable_locked_automounting.patch: Fix g_bus_unwatch_name() assertion
    failure. (Also committed upstream in 9142d259). (LP: #724285)"

I don't think its' related to the actual change in 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu9, this merely seems coincidental to me. I can't see how this patch update could ever cause this assertion failure.

This crashes in nautilus_window_disconnect_content_view(), in g_assert (NAUTILUS_IS_VIEW (view)); the passed view is not NULL, but apparently it is invalid. Unfortunately it is the only place in the stack trace whic exposes view.

Does anyone happen to have a recipe how this can reliably be reproduced? I tried with closing windows, mounting several usb sticks and usb hard drives at once, copying files as user, copying files on the command line as root with "sudo cp /etc/passwd /media/PittiUSB/", and so on, and nautilus never crashed.

Ah, I know, it's not due to that patch change, and not even because of 17_disable_locked_automounting.patch at all. It's just that we re-enabled SIGABRT crashes in apport without an assertion message at that time, so before we didn't actually get these crash reports.

So, I'm afraid I need a proper recipe for reproducing this, as I have no indication which particular change introduced this crash.

This is my recipe for reproducing the crash. (I think it's the same problem - the error message is the same).
1. Nautilus running as desktop. Open a folder.
[Optional: 2. Press "Ctrl+W" or select the equivalent "Close" from the File menu -> no crash; window closes normally.]
3. Press "Ctrl+Q", the equivalent "Close all windows" from the File menu, or click the Close button on the window titlebar
-> all windows close, desktop icons disappear and nautilus crashes.

100% reproducible here, just updated to Beta 1

Doesn't crash here with that recipe, I tried several times

it doesn't crash here either, do you have any special theme, view style, etc? do you use the default nautilus config or did you change to use spatial, or tabs, or list view or something specific?

Default config, default theme. Only extra addon is dropbox.
There are two cases:
1. Trying to close a single window from keyboard/menu -> OK
2. Trying to close all windows from keyboard/menu OR click the X button -> Crash.

If needed I can provide any other needed info dumps (or whatever they are called). My problem is related to the title of this bug (NAUTILUS_IS_VIEW) but not to the initial bug description. I'm sorry if this is not the appropriate place.
In a couple of days I may attempt a more serious debug procedure.

is everybody on this bug using the new overlay scrollbar or having those installed?

seems similar to bug #748552

Yes, I have the new overlay scrollbar installed, I installed them for
testing and then kept them.

I use Natty Beta 1, so the scrollbars are there by default.

no, they have been uploaded after beta1 and have to be manually installed still

Yes, I have installed it.

I am using the new overlay scrollbar.

I'm not able to reproduce the bug anymore with overlay-scrollbar from trunk, so I guess this bug will be fixed with the next release...

See no more nautilus crashes with the 0.1.5 version installed

Didn't see them Doug? or you're just rephrasing what I said?

"Didn't see them Doug? or you're just rephrasing what I said?"
Sorry for any confusion or unneeded noise -
Was getting constant crashes with the current 0.1.4, noticed you said "I guess" , so installed from the 0.1.5 source and was noting I no longer have any more nautilus crashes with the overlay-scrollbar enabled

awesome, fix released then :)
