Thunar 1.6.10 crashes like crazy!

After updating to 1.6.10 is started to crash spontaneously, very, very often (10-20 times per day)...

Only one bug I can reproduce:
1. Select one file
2. Press "Del" key
3. Crash!

BT:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

OS: Mageia 6/RHEL 6.6 (on both crashes)
Thunar: 1.6.10
GTK2: 2.24.28
GLib: 2.45.3

I can fix it but I think Thunar source (especially recent changes) should be carefully reviewed.

Some time ago I fixed two crashes in Thunar by myself, maybe this will help: https://gist.github.com/scriptum/b967c28b67fd8291adfd

Re: Thunar 1.6.10 crashes like crazy!

There was a bug report closed a couple of days ago and a patch committed to the git tree that resolves an issue with glib 2.45.

Its not yet part of a release, so you'll have to build from git if you want to see if it fixes your issue.

Re: Thunar 1.6.10 crashes like crazy!

my thunar crashed a lot, too...
especially on renaming a file...

with this patch it did not crash since days,
but sometimes a renamed file shows up 3 times...

it seems like thunar gets weird file structures and does not handle it so good...
but i dont know how to fix it properly...

Re: Thunar 1.6.10 crashes like crazy!

I see so this bug happen to all Linux distro with XFCE 4.12.
Then I don't need to hop Arch anymore.
