crash when pressing F2 without having selected file

[testman42]

Expected behaviour

Pressing F2 should either rename file or do nothing, depending on number of selected elements

Actual behaviour

Works as expected when one or more elements (files and/or directories) are selected, but crashes whole program (all open windows) if F2 is pressed when no elements are selected.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Open Caja window, press F2

MATE general version

MATE 1.24.0

Package version

Caja 1.24.0

Linux Distribution

Linux Mint 20.2 Uma 64-bit

I wasn't able to duplicate this with locally compiled MATE 1.26.0 (including caja 1.26.0) on Debian Unstable. Pressing F2 with no files selected did nothing (as intended) or if a file was selected opened the renaming entry. Wonder what's different? Note that Mint is based on Ubuntu which in turn is based on Debian so systems should not be that far apart other than versions.

This bug also affects me. Pressing F2 key without selected file/folder closes caja window. If multiple instances of caja are open all are terminated. Syslog contains some information on crash.

caja: 1.24.0
MATE: 1.24.0

Was going to report the same. Linux Mint Mate edition, even can try it in the live system. Start it up, open home folder, press F2 and it closes.

Is this bug present with Caja 1.26 as well? Or is only Caja 1.24 affected?

[lukefromdc]

I do not get this crash with caja 1.26 from git master over Debian Unstable with locally built GTK 3.24.30 and glib 2.70.0

On my site it works fine with DebianSID with mate-desktop (1.26.0-1)

[smurphos]

Can be reproduced with 1.26 in Mint 20.3 - F2 with no selection segfaults caja.

[lukefromdc]

Still cannot duplicate this with locally compiled caja 1.26.0 from git master on Debian Unstable w locally compiled gtk 3.24.34 and locally compiled libglib 2.72.1. Wondering what is different

[smurphos]

Mint 21 based on Ubuntu 22.04 in beta should be available in the next week or - if it still occurs there (still 1.26.0) I'll raise it during the beta test. It does look like Mint are making some minor mods to the Ubuntu packaged version for the Mint package, specifically support for Mint's 'bulky' mass rename utility. I suspect that could be the difference.

[smurphos]

OK - bulky is definitely the culprit. Caja doesn't segfault if bulky is uninstalled, does with it installed.

[mtwebster]

This is an issue with the caja in Mint's repos: https://gitlab.com/mate-pins/caja/-/merge_requests/4

This issue can be closed.

p.s. bump #1535

[cristian64]

The crash can still be reproduced with Linux Mint 21.1 "Vera":

Reproduction steps:

• Launch Caja.
• Press F2 without selecting any file.

In my case, I see this crash several times a day: a misclick before pressing F2, and thus failing to select the file, and Caja vaporizes.

Closing as Bulky has been identifed as the culprit, and an issue opened there:
