Nautilus locks up every time I press Ctrl+C

[Michał Sawicz]

Every time I press Ctrl+C to copy a file, Nautilus locks up for 5s or so.

Steps:
* open a folder in Nautilus
* select a file
* press Ctrl+C

Expected:
* nothing, really

Current:
* Nautilus locks up for a number of seconds

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

We tried to debug this recently with seb128, ultimately uninstalling nautilus-python helped, even though I had no extension installed, it was the python extension mechanism that was blocking.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

It still feels weird that it's blocking if there is no plugin, could you install it back and check if there are really no python extension (and maybe with a new user)

Did you see that issue again/in newer versions?
