Public bug reported:
When double-clicking a .desktop file in nautilus, bogus file briefly
appear and the original .desktop file "jerks" because of that. This
behaviour is quite annoying. Try unpacking tor browser bundle for
instance, navigate to tor-browser-en-US directory in nautilus and
double-click Tor Browser icon (the .desktop file). The file briefly
appears, marked as no read/write access (the little lock and cross icons
attached). I could not catch it with screen capture to see what it was
but you could see it for yourself. I believe that this is a temp file.
To verify, follow the steps below.
1. Make sure nautilus is configured to hide hidden files and that you can
reproduce the bug as has been described to this point
2. Leave nautilus window open, launch terminal and create a file named .HIDDEN
in tor-browser-en-US directory (the directory active in nautilus)
3. Double-click Tor Browser icon once again in nautilus
Now you should be able to see the file in question and look up its
properties in nautilus (see attached screen shot)
4. Return to the terminal and run 'ls -la' command to see that the file isn't
really present in the directory.
5. Refresh nautilus window with F5 button to return to normal
I believe this behaviour in nautilus is wrong but have no idea how to
fix it. Any idea?
