Confirming on Quantal. Doesn't affect Raring anymore as this option is no longer part of nautilus there.
Seems that there's something weird going on in nautilus_window_slot_open_location_full (nautilus-window-manage- views.c). The method is given NAUTILUS_WINDOW_OPEN_FLAG_NEW_TAB flag and is able to determine that it needs to open it in new window BUT then tries to open the window as tab. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1161344 Title: Nautilus crashes when opening several folders in own windows Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: To reproduce: 1.
