Title:
  Crash Nautilus in 5 easy steps

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  This bug is very repeatable with this procedure and has existed prior to Maverick and Natty. Although here I am using Natty with updates current as of today. Natilus 3.32.2.1
  1. open a folder as your source
  2. open a second tab and select/create a folder as your destination
  3. select files from the source tab and cut
  4. switch to the destination tab and paste files
  5. before or just as move completes, switch back to the source tab

  This when the move completes, nautilus will crash every time. Very
  consistent. The move completes properly and no data loss. Seems more
  related to UI updating. I confirmed this more or less by simply
  waiting for the move to complete before switching tabs. I have never
  seen a crash when I wait.

  If I had to guess, I'd say this is the result of improper
  serialisation of nautilus and user initiated events. Or fundamentally
  event handling in general. Either in Nautilus or upstream libraries.

  Another example is while creating a new folder.  If while you are typing the name or pausing in typing, and there is a need to update the file list, Nautilus will abort user action, create a new Untitled Folder, so it can update the list. Rather than deferring the update until the user action has completed.
  Other times Nautilus seems to get in it's own way and trigger event timeouts. Such as for mouse hover timeout to trigger expanding directory view.
