Public bug reported:
When renaming a folder using VSCode, if this folder is one level above
you in nautilus and you click the back arrow to go into it, nautilus
will throw a "Oops something went wrong" window. If you press "Ok" it
will start spawning those windows indefinitely and make your computer
slow down and crash.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a folder called "test_ x" somewhere in nautilus and enter it.
2. Create another folder inside "test_ x" called "test" and enter it.
3. In VS Code, open a workspace somewhere above "test_ x" and rename it into
"test_x" from the navigator panel.
4. Switch to nautilus and press the "test_ x" part in the path (which has not
updated) to try to go up one level.
5. Observe GNOME crash dialog (“Oops something went wrong”) appears; pressing
OK triggers repeated error windows until system slows down and crashes.
