Public bug reported:

Right Click on a folder that contains at least one very large file and
several smaller ones. Example, star-citizen LIVE folder that contains
all the game files and a 128GB .p4k file.

Select Copy

Right Click Paste it back into the same level. Basically making a
duplicate folder with all its contents.

Rename the new folder to something else, right after it appears.


The issue happens about 3-5mins later, a series of error messages that
come up stating it couldn't find the folder that used to be named
LIVE(Copy) before I renamed it. Nautilus then crashes when trying to
deal with the error messages and then main monitor goes blank with
secondary monitor displaying what looked like the ubuntu loading screen.
Shortly after I'm back at the login screen on main monitor.

While the copy process was being done I was also in chrome clicking
around various websites, not sure if that had anything to do with the
crash but figured I'd mention it anyways.

TLDR: CTD Then ends up at login menu when attempting to copy paste a
folder, and renaming it before it's finished copying all files over.


Description:	Ubuntu Questing Quokka (development branch)
Release:	25.10

nautilus:
  Installed: 1:49~alpha-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1:49~alpha-0ubuntu2
  Version table:

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I would've included a video showing the bug in action but the full crash
back to login screen prevents this from working as the clip is never
saved.


A possible fix could entail not displaying the LIVE(Copy) folder in nautilus but instead a temporary icon that signifies that something is still in progress. Like a new type of folder/file icon that is a Loading symbol. And then give it a different context menu that contains options like cancel.
