Title:
  Nautilus doesn't indicate that files are being loaded

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  PROBLEM

  Unlike when you click on a folder (and the mouse cursor changes to the
  "loading" symbol), double-clicking on a PDF file or image to open it
  does not provide any visual feedback. The user is left wondering if
  her computer "got the message" at all, and may double-click multiple
  times, until it finally loads.

  This problem also affects the following file types:

  1. Document files opened by LibreOffice (although the LibreOffice splash screen indicates that the file is loading)
  2. Text files opened in gedit
  3. HTML files opened in the web browser

  Further testing is recommended.

  HOW TO REPRODUCE

  1. Open a Nautilus window.
  2. Double-click on a folder to open it. Note the visual feedback.
  3. Double-click on a PDF document.
  4. Double-click on a picture.
  5. Repeat the process for the other file types indicated.

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

  Nautilus will not leave users hanging, and will indicate -- as it does
  for double-clicking on folders -- that it's loading the thing that you
  clicked on.
