Crash when pressing LMB+RMB

Thanks for your bug report. Can you send the whole stacktrace as documented at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

I was able to get a full backtrace too, it's attached.

Absolutely bizarre crash. Are you using compositing (Compiz/Metacity with the Compositor enabled/some other compositing WM)? Did you perhaps turn it off/on at some point while Nautilus was running? Maybe it crashed and caused us to crash too?

The fix is simple enough and I'll try to get it in Bugzilla upstream in just a minute, we're not handling the null pixmap case sensibly there (can't create a cairo context for a null pixbuf, setting an operator on a null cairo context crashes). Thanks for taking the time to get the better stacktrace.

I do use Compiz, however I have not turned it off since I installed it.

I first noticed the crash when I was going to enter a directory and accidentally pressed LMB+RMB, I do that quite alot actually (I guess my mouse is too sensitive). It can get quite annoying, even though it doesn't happen very often. So thanks for taking the time to read through my bug report.

Your patch seems to have fixed it. Guess it just was a small coding error (you should always check for NULL pointers).

This could probably be closed now.

fixed upstream, thanks for reporting.

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here

With the new version I tried the LMB-RMB combination several dozen times, and it never crashed. Also, the package is generally behaving nicely, no apparent regressions.

Copied to hardy-updates.
