Bug Description
In both Saucy and Trusty (with Gnome 3.10 and 3.12 respectively), Synaptic has been taking an inordinate amount of time populating lists with search results, often resulting in a Force Quit? dialog. But at least it hasn't crashed. Until now.
The good thing is that packages actually appear to be installed, though, so apparently the crash happens after installation but before returning to the normal view.
This on a fully up-to-date Ubuntu Gnome 14.04.

Thanks for your bugreport.
Is the crash reproducable in any way? I would love to get a gdb backtrace - do you have a /var/crash/ _usr_sbin_ synaptic* file?
