Title: properties window blocks main window forever while size of content folders are computed Status in Nautilus: New Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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.
