Regression: Nautilus on 14.04.3 stalls when handling while copying.

[dronus]

When copying files from my ext4 harddrive to my external USB harddrive (btfs in that case), and simultanously browsing in the windows the copy was initated from, the copying may stall. I can still browse the drive sometimes. After that, any further file copy operation to that drive stalls to. top shows CPU is at idle, iotop shows no disk operations. Suddenly after some time (a minute sometimes) the operation continues. There are no other stalled mounts (like sftp), only the external drive.

I can still access the external drive via terminal, anything is ok.

There are no btrfs messages on dmesg.

Problem occurs on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS. This worked reliable with Ubuntu 12.04.

I am reporting problem after problem for nautilus in the past days since I installed 14.04. Ubuntu 14.04 is over a year old, what happened? Nautilus worked far more reliable on 12.04.

Any recommendation of an usable filemanager that relies on proven code? Maybe Nemo?

The bug is years old without activity nor recent similar report, closing as deprecate. You can open a new bug if that's still an issue though
