Cannot browse file on bluetooth device. Nonsense error message

[Teo]

Usually I can browse files on my mobile connected via bluetooth from the computer.

Same computer, same phone, now I can't.

- Click on the bluetooth icon on the notification area
- select "bluetooth settings" (directly selecting "Browse files" within the submenu under the name of the device wouldn't work, as per bug #1254106)
- select the device which is the only one in the list and click "Browse files".

=> I get this nonsense error message:
"Unable to find the requested file. Please check the spelling and try again"
And below: "Unhandled error message: Unable to load location".

Note the error message suggesting to check the spelling is particularly stupid as no typing is involved in the process.

I've done a hcidump during the process and it is COMPLETELY EMPTY.

I have removed the phone from the devices, paired it again from scratch, and it does not fix the issue.

It used to work until very few days ago.

After this, I noticed that the mobile device was listed on the bottom of the left panel of Nautilus.
So I clicked it, and Nautilus crashed.

After that, I relaunched Nautilus, and now browsing the mobile device works both from Nautilus (clicking on the device name on the left panel) and from the Bluetooth application (following the steps in the report)

After this, when I open Nautilus, it generates a new icon in the Launcher instead of just adding an arrow on the left of the existing launcher icon.

There's certainly a bug in Nautilus as it crashed; I don't know if it's _only_ nautilus or if bluetooth has an issue as well.

Do you still see that issue in newer Ubuntu versions?
