> Do you still see that problem in newer Ubuntu versions? I see it in 16.04 (as in the report) which is LTS and still supposed to be supported.
I haven't tested any later version. I can't upgrade to 18.04 because of #1164016 which renders Nautilus completely unusable. -- 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/1792424 Title: Left panel flickers like crazy during several seconds after deleting a bunch of files Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have no idea if there are some requirements to trigger this issue, so I don't know whether you'll be able to reproduce it by just following my steps. Anyway, I can reproduce it 100% of the times: 1. Open some folder in Nautilus 2. Select a few files. Make sure you select quite a few 3. Delete them by pressing the DEL key Expected: Nothing, a part from the files being deleted and disappearing from the displayed folder contents. Observed: During a few seconds after you hit Delete (I guess the time it takes to move the files to Trash and do some associated action, which by the way I don't know what it is that can take so long when deleting just a handful of files), the items in the list of shortcuts in the left panel (see screenshot) start flickering frantically, like crazy. It's pathetic. It looks like the item called "Networks", just below "Trash", disappears and reappears several times very quickly, causing all the items below it to move down and up, hence the flickering. Obviously it makes no sense. Note: there's nothing wrong to be appreciated in my screenshot, it just indicates where the flickering happens.
