How can this even be "importance low"? Doesn't anybody realize the huge
SECURITY RISK this bug involves?

You drag a file onto a folder, for just a fraction of a second more than
the time it takes for the folder to auto-open. Then you drop it, but
when you do, the folder has just opened and you have accidentally
dropped the file onto a subfolder within the folder. Unless you double
check, you may not realize where you have moved the file and you may
loose it forever. You may have moved it (without realizing) into a
subfolder that you will later delete, without knowing it contains a file
that you never intended to move into it.

This is DISASTROUS.

We already know that Nautilus development has degenerated into complete
dementia, and that until it gets repleced with something else in Ubuntu,
it constantly needs patching to revert regressions like this one (which
are made on purpose, because of demential design). But an issue like
this should be considered high importance, if not critical, as it can
lead to DATA LOSS.
