Just to add I will monitor this issue and post updates as to the progress. I have left messages on the dropbox forum indicating the problems with dropbox and ubuntu.
Please note that dropbox is a closed source application so Ubuntu is unable to help fix it. This post is a record for those currently looking for a similar problems and may not know what it is. I advise people using dropbox not to use it as of the current time as it leads to instability in nautilus under certain circumstances, in particular moving or copying files to and from samba nas drives. Or in plain language microsoft windows drives. I am very sure of this bug because it affected not one machine but several from different classes of process and machine configurations. ** Summary changed: - nautilus on drag n drop to network drive kills desktop + nautilus copy, move, or drag n drop to nas kills desktop (dropbox issue) -- nautilus copy, move, or drag n drop to nas kills desktop (dropbox issue) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/452679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
