Title:
  endless loading in nautilus / some files missing

Status in Nautilus:
  Unknown
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  !!! THERE MAY BE A SIMPLER WAY TO REPRODUCE... SEE Jeff Dag below... !!!
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  bug discription:
  it often happens after moving some files or folders  into another (target-)folder.  when the fileoperation is complete sometimes the target-folder does not refresh, so I hit CTRL+R for a refresh. but then nautilus does not get ready with loading this target-folder and does not display every file in the folder. [the loading animation spins around and around and around ...]
  Even if I close nautilus and open the folder again it's the same: endless loading an some files are missing.

  no filesystem bug:
  other filebrowsers work well (i've tested e.g. with konqueror and it shows everything that's in the folder and everything is quite normal)
  also in xterm "ls" shows all files and they are normally accessable

  my silly solution:
  I use e.g. konqueror: I create an empty folder in the for-nautilus-problematic-folder and move the problematic-files (that are not displayed in nautilus) into it. AND then in nautilus everything(!) works fine: no endless loading end the files (that were missing before) are displayed in the "new folder".

  info:
  -I think it does not matter what filetype the missing files are.  (last time it was a single .pdf file, but it's different every other time)
  -the folder is on a ntfs partition mounted in my home folder (by UUID through /etc/fstab)

  I believe it's a new bug since 9.04 but I don't know.
