Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

This redrawing should happen at a very fast rate (like more than a dozen times a second at the very least) so you would have the impression it is "continuous". Also, this should consume an almost undetectable amount of CPU. Observed behavior: the rectangle is not redrawn until you stop moving the mouse cursor. If you keep moving the mouse cursor, it will never be redrawn at all! If you do stop moving the mouse as you normally do, you will get the impression that the animation is terribly jerky, as if the computer was doing too much work. CPU consumption reaches 100% while you move the mouse, whether or not the selection rectangle is redrawn. The developers upstream say this is not an issue in Nautilus itself (I wonder how they can be so sure). https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/127#note_8911 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-98.121-generic 4.4.90 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-98-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.10 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Nov 20 21:11:57 2017 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'sidebar-width' b'190' b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'geometry' b"'1301x716+406+119'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'use-tree-view' b'true' b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'default-column-order' b"['name', 'size', 'type', 'date_modified', 'date_accessed', 'owner', 'group', 'permissions', 'mime_type', 'where']" InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-11 (1501 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1733410/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
