Why the f*** has nothing been done on this for over a year?
> Could someone having the issue record a screencast showing the bug? Do you need a screencast because you are too lazy to read my description of the issue which is in my original report and perfectly describes what happens, or because you genuinely doubt that I might be making this up? Or is my english really so bad that my description of the issue isn't clear enough? I think you can literally picture it in your head by reading it, but of course I'm biased because I wrote it myself and I've seen the issue. Yet I find it really difficult to believe that anyone familiar with Nautilus, even without having ever observed the issue, would have any difficulty in understanding what I describe. By the way, now I found out that my Trash folder (in home/.local/share/Trash) was about 140 GB. There's obviously something wrong with that. I certainly haven't deleted 100 GB (nor even anywhere near one GB) in the last few months, and I assume the trash is supposed to get emptied automatically from time to time. Now I did "empty Trash" from nautilus and during the whole time it took, it kept flickering just as described in the issue report as it usually happens when deleting folders with "many" files in them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792424 Title: Left panel flickers like crazy during several seconds after deleting a bunch of files Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have no idea if there are some requirements to trigger this issue, so I don't know whether you'll be able to reproduce it by just following my steps. Anyway, I can reproduce it 100% of the times: 1. Open some folder in Nautilus 2. Select a few files. Make sure you select quite a few 3. Delete them by pressing the DEL key Expected: Nothing, a part from the files being deleted and disappearing from the displayed folder contents. Observed: During a few seconds after you hit Delete (I guess the time it takes to move the files to Trash and do some associated action, which by the way I don't know what it is that can take so long when deleting just a handful of files), the items in the list of shortcuts in the left panel (see screenshot) start flickering frantically, like crazy. It's pathetic. It looks like the item called "Networks", just below "Trash", disappears and reappears several times very quickly, causing all the items below it to move down and up, hence the flickering. Obviously it makes no sense. Note: there's nothing wrong to be appreciated in my screenshot, it just indicates where the flickering happens.
