Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

- Open Nautilus
- Navigate to a folder containing at least a subfolder F with thousands of 
items totalling many gigabytes of contents
- Right-click on F and select Properties
=> You'll see the "contents" value that grows and grows

Now keep the Properties window open, and in the main window where you
were browsing, browse away from that folder and try to go into another
one

Expected: you should be able to do so, while the size of contents still
keeps being computed in the Properties window

Observed: the main window hangs and keep waiting forever and never shows
you the folder you're trying to browse, until the Properties are done
computing the size.


The workaround is to open a new tab or window, but this shouldn't be necessary. 
Or if it is, then the window that is not going to respond should be greyed out 
so you know you have to open a new tab.
