I'm surprised nobody else got this problem with nautilus automatically browsing back inside NFS mounted folders? I just checked today with current nautilus 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu5 and I still can reproduce the problem.

If I browse into one of the mounted/linked folders, nautilus navigates subsequently back to the home folder. It navigates in the tree up folder by folder in about one folder per minute. I can even minimize the Nautilus window and do something else and when I open the window again it made several steps back. Therefore any strange commands coming from input devices can be excluded. 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center nautilus: Installiert: 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu4 Installationskandidat: 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu4 Versionstabelle: *** 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu4 500 500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What you expected to happen nothing should happen 4) What happened instead Nautilus subsequently browses back to the home folder if you navigated into a folder that is mounted by NFS.
