Thanks for your bug report.
Actually, I notice that toggling the Preferences option for hidden files
on/off always requires a re-launch of nautilus to take effect, not
necessarily only when enabling hidden files. It is interesting to note
that the shortcut ctrl-h updates the listing immediately. This should
be the behavior of using Preferences as well, I suppose. The workaround
is to use ctrl-h until it is fixed.
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info
