[Albert Cutrona]

Hello,

Please, close the bug as I've find the problem. Deleting thumbnails folders in /home fix the issue.

Thank you very much

Thank you for your bug report. That still seems like an issue than nautilus can end up in that buggy situation. Can you reproduce the issue with specific steps on some file you have on your disk?

Hello,

I'm terribly sorry but I can't reproduce the issue. Today I've realized a high CPU usage and finally discovered that was a thumbnail problem in Nautilus, the thumbnails didn't showed and raised the CPU and the temperature too high.

After browsing in askubuntu.com I've seen a person with another problem related to thumbnails in Ubuntu 13.10 but his experience has given me the clue. So, I've deleted two hidden folders named "thumbnails" in my /home and now is all ok.

It's for that reason that I've asked to close the bug and I'm not able to reproduce the situation. Anyways, I don't have any problem if you consider don't close and wait if the problem comes again.

Thank you very much for your help!!

I apologize for the wrong report, I should search before..., but I swear that gnome-system-monitor and htop didn't showed the "guilty process"...

I also apoligize for my English, it isn't my language, so I hope you can understand me.

Again, tahnk you very much and very best regards!! :D
