Doing properties on multiple directories of Windows-mounted disk, goes into loop

[Rick Patterson]

Hello.

Have a dual-boot system with Ubuntu 13.04 & Windows 7. Ubuntu automatically mounts my Windows C drive. If I wish to see how large some sub-directories are in my Windows "My Documents" folder, I select more than one sub-directory, then press right-click to show properties. For example, I select only "Documents" and "Music". Nautilus starts counting files in the sub-directories, and showing numbers and total size. It loops, by starting over again after counting them. It keeps counting over and over again. There is no looping when only 1 sub-directory is selected.

I see the same thing when viewing files on an ext3 partition.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

It seems that this is the same bug as in #1131571, so I mark this as a duplicate of it. You can undo this if it is another problem you've described.
