            Bug ID: 12293
           Summary: Thunar crashes when renaming files (maybe only on NFS
                    shares)
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.6.10

Thunar crashes often (not always) when I rename files or folders.
Unfortunately, there is no message in ~/.xfce4-session.verbose-log

So far, it only happened when renaming file on a remote computer (NFS mount),
but I'm not sure if it also can happen locally, that's why I added the "maybe"
to the summary.
Also, up to now it only happened with the Thunar instance started automatically
at login by the xfce session manager. I use a manually saved session that
contains one Thunar window. After the crash, I usually start a new Thunar
instance from the terminal in order to get some sdterr output. But as I wrote,
the crash never appeared when started this way.
When I restart Thunar and browse to the directory I was before, I can see that
the rename operation was performed and the crash occurred after that.

Maybe it has something to do with a new behaviour I noticed since the current
version:
Most of my rename oerations is adding different suffixes to the file or folder
names. So it should not affect the order of the displayed entries (ordered by
name).
But when I rename files or folders within a parent folder that has many
children, the renamed entry is ordered to a different position or (only
sometimes) even disappears. In both cases, I need to refresh the view by
pressing F5 in order to see things as they are now.
Just to clarify: The crash can also happen when the parent folder has only a
few entries, but the visible effect only occurs with many entries.
