Latest 64-bit Bookworm image, fully up to date with APT.

To reproduce:

  1. Start the File Manager
  2. Create directories named dir1 and dir2
  3. Navigate into dir1
  4. In the left-hand treeview, right click on dir2 and select Rename...
  5. Rename it to e.g. dir2a and click OK
  6. This works fine and dir2 gets renamed to dir2a
  7. Now right-click on dir1 in the left-hand treeview (i.e. the directory that is currently also visible in the right-hand pane) and select Rename...
  8. Rename it to e.g. dir1a and click OK
  9. Pcmanfm crashes!
  10. (but if you re-open it again you can see that dir1 has been renamed to dir1a, so it must be the "view refresh" that crashed pcmanfm)

You can also provoke a similar crash using the Terminal:

  1. Start the File Manager
  2. Navigate into dir1a
  3. Start a Terminal
  4. In the terminal, run mv dir2a dir2b
  5. This works fine and the treeview in pcmanfm updates accordingly
  6. In the terminal, run mv dir1a dir1b
  7. Pcmanfm crashes!
