Bug Description

When using Nautilus to move a folder, or a few folders, to somewhere else, Nautilus sometimes crashes, although it has already done the move by that stage. The window disappears to be replaced by the "Ubuntu has had a problem, do you want to report it?" dialogue.
When you try to re-open Nautilus by right-clicking on the icon the favourites are not displayed - they re-appear after you have opened Nautilus.

Sometimes this crash happens, sometimes it doesn't, and I can't see that I am doing anything different each time (usually moving a folder of mp3 & flac files from one place to another on my PC). Maybe one time in 5 it crashes? But that means I have experienced lots of crashes, as I use this feature a lot. It has not just happened in the latest release but has been happening for some time.

Incidentally - the 'about' page doesn't mention Nautilus as the name of the product. You could be forgiven for thinking that it's called Files. So if you are not getting many bug reports, that could be one reason...

Let me know if I can provide other information. Thanks for your help with this, in anticipation.
