I don't know of a way to reproduce it systematically. I just navigate to a folder. It says "Loading..." on the bottom-right of the window, and it stays like that forever, failing to display the contents of the folder, without any error message. It doesn't have to be a folder with lots of files. Right now I've just seen it happen with a folder that only contains 4 files.
