The problem's reproducible in that it's persistent and consistent. I just now tried opening one of the directories on which I first noticed the problem and it took about two minutes of pretty heavy CPU activity to go from showing the directory arrow turned downward to displaying the detail list of its contents. (In this case about 400 jpg images, with icons rather than thumbnails, but this morning it took about a minute to open //.nautilus/metafiles when it contained about 130 small entries.)
I have no clear idea how you can reproduce it. I noticed the behavior on this machine this morning after having the update manager install the latest security patches. I've no reason, other than coincidence, to think they're related. It's just the most recent change I'm aware of. But I did reboot last night, for the first time in maybe weeks, during which I'd installed updates, so many changes might have taken effect The same directories had opened normally yesterday. BTW Konqueror has no problem opening any of the directories so I doubt it's a file system problem, and Konqueror is a workaround, I don't have 8.10 on this machine and I'm not particularly interested in installing it, but if it would help a lot I guess I could look into doing so.
