Notice that the "subfolder trick" seems to solve the bug permanently (for all nautilus windows, until the window in which the trick was done (!) gets closed) while the "two window trick" solves only the bug temporarily (for example, if you close one and then in the other navigate to another folder and back, the issue is there again).
For the folder displayed blank case, this may also happen for non-first displays, but I cannot reproduce it systematically. By the way, I noticed that nautilus had quick self-check tests, here is what it gives: $ nautilus --check (nautilus:12446): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed running nautilus_self_check_file_utilities running nautilus_self_check_file_operations running nautilus_self_check_directory running nautilus_self_check_file running nautilus_self_check_icon_container running nautilus_self_check_file_utilities running nautilus_self_check_file_operations running nautilus_self_check_directory running nautilus_self_check_file running nautilus_self_check_icon_container -- 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
