Title:
  Creating and naming two folders in a row produces an error: "There is
  no "" in this folder"

Status in Nautilus:
  Expired
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  What happens:
  In Nautilus, when creating two folders an error occurs, preventing creation of two or more folders in a row (hotkeys, etc.).

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open Nautilus and explore any folder/place.
  2. Create a folder using hotkey SHIFT + CTRL + N, type a name for it and press ENTER.
  3. Create a second folder using hotkey SHIFT + CTRL + N, type a name for it and press ENTER.
  4. Most (90%~) of the time*, an error window will show up with text:
  "The item could not be renamed
  There is no "" in this folder. Perhaps it was just moved or deleted?"
  The folder which was created as second will have its name left as "Untitled Folder".

  * it appears to me as if this error shows up only when creating said two folders in a short time and without changing current selection. Both 32 and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu were tested and it has to be noted that this misbehaviour isn't quite fresh, actually I do remember it occuring many times over the last year or so.
  See more in the short video in which I reproduce the bug three times consecutively: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/889911/+attachment/2600163/+files/Launchpad%20889911%20bug%20video%201.ogv
