Public bug reported: Since upgrading to Ubuntu 15.04, opening the Dropbox folder via the item in the Dropbox menu (accessed by the Dropbox icon in the menu bar) causes nautilus to partially crash, i.e. any open windows still work, but the desktop loses its icons, context menu and rubber band functionality until nautilus is restarted.
