deluge-gtk freezes when using the Open File/Folder

[veril]

Same problem as closed ticket #2962

Had this with Ubuntu 16.04 and now 18.04. Everything is default with 18.04 (gnome3) but with 16.04 I was using XFCE.

Sometimes opening a file or folder from the Deluge file tab causes the GUI to completely freeze. According to iftop download is ongoing so I assume it's only the GUI that is dead.

Whether the freeze happens or not seems like complete chance, no pattern that I could find. Sometimes it happens multiple times in a row sometimes once in a dozen.

After the forced exit torrents which were being downloaded show as Error and need to be force rechecked. After that everything seems to be ok.

To be clear 18.04 was a fresh install and so unrelated to the 16.04 system.
