nautilus SIGABRT NAUTILUS_IS_FILE (file) (when using under sudo?)

[Barry Drake]

Was using Nautilus inside gksudo to change contents of an ISO shown on my mobile phone - Huawei Ascend Y300 smartphone. The application crashed and brought me here.

Occurred here when modifying from Root ownership to lower level. Did not occur when changing lower level to Root.

seems similar to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700492 which has suggest change to resolve the issue

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug is quite old and the code changed since, also there has been no new report of that specific problem nor activity for some years so assuming it has been resolved and closing the ticket. If you still get issues in newer versions feel free to open a new report though.
