I don't this this is a dup of #454297, here's how I can repeatedly
reproduce it:
open a nautilus window in "list view", create a folder (don't even
bother changing it's name), enter the directory and create a other
folder, but name it starting with a dot ("." so hidden folder). Go back
up to the parent of "untitled folder" you created and hit the little
triangle to view it's content, it says "loading..." endlessly.
For the record, i have the left pane displaying "Places". And this
scenario is just so you can create it with dummy folders, but I observed
this behaviour because of a svn checkout I have on my HD... one of our
dirs is empty, but on my HD it contains a dir called ".svn" as do all
the checked out dirs, but since this one doesn't have any elements other
than this ".svn" it made the "Loading..." problem.
Enjoy! (and please fix ;) )
** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 454297
drag and drop images or video into subfolder will prevent folder from loading
** Description changed:

Binary package hint: nautilus
bug discription:
it often happens after moving some files or folders into another
(target-)folder. when the fileoperation is complete sometimes the
target-folder does not refresh, so I hit CTRL+R for a refresh. but then
nautilus does not get ready with loading this target-folder and does not
display every file in the folder. [the loading animation spins around and
around and around ...]
Even if I close nautilus and open the folder again it's the same: endless
loading an some files are missing.
no filesystem bug:
other filebrowsers work well (i've tested e.g. with konqueror and it shows
everything that's in the folder and everything is quite normal)
also in xterm "ls" shows all files and they are normally accessable
my silly solution:
I use e.g. konqueror: I create an empty folder in the
for-nautilus-problematic-folder and move the problematic-files (that are not
displayed in nautilus) into it. AND then in nautilus everything(!) works fine:
no endless loading end the files (that were missing before) are displayed in
the "new folder".
info:
-I think it does not matter what filetype the missing files are. (last time
it was a single .pdf file, but it's different every other time)
-the folder is on a ntfs partition mounted in my home folder (by UUID through
/etc/fstab)
I believe it's a new bug since 9.04 but I don't know.
