Research direction

Reproduce on Linux Mint 22.3 with pix 3.4.10 by opening a sub-folder and navigating to its parent, especially the folder that consistently freezes; compare this with starting pix in that folder. Investigate the freeze and verify that navigating to the parent opens the requested folder without becoming unresponsive.

Distribution

Linux Mint 22.3 x86_64

Package version

pix 3.4.10

Frequency

Always

Bug description

Navigating from a sub-folder to its parent results in complete freeze of pix. Eventually I will get a "not responding" message. It is repeatable. I do not get this when navigating via nemo.

Steps to reproduce

Not sure I can. It always happens on the same folder, but if I start pix in that folder all is ok.

Expected behavior

pix should open the requested folder
