Thunar does not open while sshfs is connecting

Version information

Versions:

  • Mint 22.1
  • Thunar 4.18.8
  • cifs-utils 7.0-2
  • glib2 2.80.0
  • Xfce 4.18

Steps to reproduce

  • in a terminal, sshfs on another machine
  • when the password prompt appears, let it as is and open Thunar
  • (No window opens)
  • Return to the terminal and interrupt sshfs
  • (Window opens)

Current behavior

Thunar does not open its window when as long as sshfs is logging to another machine. Once the sshfs drive is connected, everything is fine.

Additional information

Hi, I stumbled on this issue when using sshfs which may be due to an underlying library, as Nemo had the same behavior. This may be linked with #1022 (closed), but since it is not a GVfs, I preferred to open a new issue.
