[Bug 2115311] [NEW] Nautilus crashes when backspacing in the search bar if you backspace past the beginning of the search string

 

Public bug reported:

Repro steps:

1. Open nautilus ("Files")
2. Press the "find" icon to the right of the location breadcrumbs
3. Enter some string in the search bar (e.g., "asdf;lkj")
4. Wait a few seconds while it thinks (I have a lot of stuff in my home folder, not sure if this is necessary or not -- it's not usually done searching when I repro the crash, so maybe to get the most exact repro you could start from a folder with lots of files if you're not able to repro)
5. Hold down backspace until the whole search string is gone and then keep holding it a couple moments

Nautilus goes "bing!" to tell me I'm trying to delete past end-of-string
once and then kaboom, every time.

Extremely annoying.

I probably should have reported this years ago, but here we are. I must
be the only person in the world who uses backspace this way. Or maybe I
am cursed
