Public bug reported:
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.
