Re-reading my answer, I doubt it is clear what I meant. What I mean is: No, the issue is not occurring anymore. I have been using Nautilus in the form of GNOME Files, and have copied large amounts of data frequently. Noted that I use Debian Stable, so I guess it is save to say it will not occur in Ubuntu.
Hope that is a bit more clear ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437288 Title: Nautilus uses a lot of heap memory coping large amounts of data Status in Nautilus: New Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus While copying a lot of data (>250GB), Nautilus uses up a lot of memory. This memory is not given back to the system at any time. Depending on the amount of copying Nautilus uses from 800MB up to 3GB. Now using Ubuntu alpha 6 with Gnome 2.28, but this problemed also showed on my old install (Arch Linux Gnome 2.26) I attached a printscreen of the memory in the .png. Memory in use that time: 2.4GB. Amount of data copied (not cutted) was about 750GB.
