            Bug ID: 11843
           Summary: Thunar location bar issues with gvfs
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.6.7
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: general

When a remote connection (e.g. sftp://foo.com/bar/baz) gets disconnected,
Thunar eventually shows the corresponding folder as empty (there really should
be an indicator that you're disconnected, like a red background in the location
bar, but that's another issue)

If one navigates to the parent folder from here (sftp://foo.com/bar), that is
also met by an empty view. If one manually enters a *previously visited*
location in the location bar (e.g. sftp://foo.com/bar/lol), that is also met
with an empty view.

But here's the kicker: If one manually enters a *NOT previously visited*
location on the same machine (e.g. sftp://foo.com/test), Thunar then goes ahead
and reconnects.

This is inconsistent, confusing and awkward. Imo, Thunar should automatically
try to reconnect at all times when the user navigates a location that was
previously connected, but has now become disconnected.
