ok, thank you for the quick replies and explanations. The intended
behaviour of Nautilus, as described by A. Walton, definitely makes sense
and I see that it would not be worth the sacrifice to calculate the size
instantaneously, especially since, as mentioned, the size does not
usually change that
closing the bug since that's not really one

This is very much the intended behavior of Nautilus. Everything is done
asynchronously as to not block the UI whenever possible. That means
caching data like the complete size of everything in a folder, as this
isn't usually a fast-changing piece of data. We register file watches on
folders though,
Here is an example:
Run the following script, which will create 1 files, each with size
100k.
mkdir folder1
for (( c=1; c<=1; c++ ))
do
dd if=/dev/zero of=folder1/imaginaryfile$c bs=1024 count=100
done
While the script is running, right-click folder1 in a nautilus browser and go
