I have exactly the same problem. Altough I'v noticed that mouse cursor theme affect it (oddy enough!) Reverting to default "Adwaita" mouse cursor theme corrected the issue.
Another issue, with non-default mouse theme and nouveau drivers, is the mouse cursor lag. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005167 Title: Double click on a folder in a Nautilus window is very slow Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since I have changed the NVidia graphic card driver from the proprietary to the open source nouveau, I have a strange problem with the response time of Nautilus and some other applications. For instance if I double click on a folder to open it, Nautilus is very slow. I have to wait more than 10 sec to have the folder opened. However, I have found by accident that if I move the mouse pointer outside the Nautilus window, the response time is very short as normally expected. It's like if moving the mouse outside a window, it forces in some manner the refresh of the window. I know that this sound complicated, so I have recorded for you a short video (attached here), to demonstrate the issue.
