When I open an sftp connection to a server with Thunar, and this connection is broken for some reason (either the server kills it because of inactivity, or the connection is lost), then when I try to reconnect to the same server, Thunar just hangs. I am forced to quit Thunar, and then when I start it again and try to reconnect, it still hangs. The only thing that works is logging out/logging back again into my Xubuntu session, and then trying to reconnect.
I can't really give any technical details that would allow you to reproduce this bug. If you help me to diagnose it I can give more details, as requested.
What can I do to solve this problem? Are similar bugs reported? Is there a better way to "restart" the session, without having to log off/on (maybe there is a service I can restart)?
