Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
When my documents folder contains PDF files, the folder freezes while trying to load the file list. I dropped to terminal to move the files out of the document folder into my home folder. Once in my home folder, there was no longer a problem. If I make another folder and call it something other than "Documents," there is not a problem viewing the PDFs. However, if I delete the documents folder and rename the other folder Documents, the problem returns. I have created a separate folder for PDFs, and this work around seems to have resolved the issue for the time being. Other users seem to have this problem. Here is a pertinent UbuntuForums thread (on which I posted as well): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8410105#post8410105 Process to repeat: 1. Put PDF file in Documents folder 2.
