I believe that I found a "solution", I don't know what caused it. After suffering with the problem for 2 weeks I discovered that emptying the trash the terminal way solved it. It seems Nautilus was having issues with something in the rubbish bin via the below command.
rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/* Will post here again if the problem arises again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792424 Title: Left panel flickers like crazy during several seconds after deleting a bunch of files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1792424/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
