Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. I know of
at least one situation where this can happen -- but I do not know if it
applies to you:
0. open a terminal; on it, follow steps 1-4
1. mkdir /tmp/test/here
2. cd /tmp/test/here
3. touch a
4. ls
You should now see the file 'a' under this directory structure.
5. open *ANOTHER* terminal, and do NOT close the first. On this new terminal:
6. rm -rf /tmp/test/here
7. Go back to the FIRST terminal
8. ls
You should see zero files
8. Go to the SECOND terminal
9. mkdir /tmp/test/here
10. touch /tmp/test/here/b
11. ls
You should see the file 'b' you just touched.
12. go back to the FIRST terminal
13. ls
You will see NO files.
This is expected, and not an error.
Now, how did you go? Who creates the directories? Removes them? Please
give us more details on what is going on in the background.
