I am currently experiencing the exact same bug. What is really weird is that the problematic folder is on a removable drive, which I have unplugged several times since it first happened, but the issue is still there: continuous reloading with some files missing.
This all happened after moving files from a FAT32 partition to that folder (on an ext3 partition) with nautilus (by drag&drop from one tab to another), then letting my laptop go into sleep mode. Notice that no thumbnails are displayed. Wow, I entered in a subfolder then went back and the problem was gone! I cannot reproduce the bug any more using the same window, but if I close it and then open a new window the problem is still there. Also, opening two windows (or tabs) on that folder instantaneously solves the issue in both of them (but during a fraction of a second I can see the bug in the newly opened window). Sometimes when first displaying the problematic folder it just remains blank (no file/folder are displayed). This is on Ubuntu 9.10 on x86_64. -- endless loading in nautilus / some files missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383927 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
