Bug Description

In the last 2 Ubuntu versions I had this problem: naming or renaming folders crashed nautilus. It happened twice this evening, sometimes I only see this once in a few days, other times, more times a day if I work more intensive with files and folders. First it darkens the Nautilus windows (I usually have 2-3 when working with files - moving, copying - pictures mainly) and then it crashes, closing all windows. It happened many times when creating new folders and trying to name them, after I write the new name and press ENTER; after crash, the folders are created, but they have the default name (Untitled Folder).
