Bug Description

I have two local samba shares and my google drive connected to Nautilus. When I mount or unmount any combination of them the GNOME session randomly freezes and the xserver restarts and I can continue in Nautilus just like normal.
Terminal output:
(org.gnome.Nautilus:14697): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 16:49:28.683: gtk_widget_set_visible: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

Thank you for your bug report, nautilus closing shouldn't lead to the session exiting. Do you have any report generated in /var/crash? Could you add your 'journalctl -b 0' log after triggering the issue?

Changed in nautilus (Ubuntu):
importance:	Undecided → Low
status:	New → Incomplete

Thank you for your reply. It's not closing of nautilus that causes the crash.
Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open nautilus
  2. Connect to a networkshare (e.g. Google Drive, Samba share)
    2.1 If it's a samba share, set a bookmark in nautilus
  3. Now connect and disconnect the different shares several times
  4. After 1 to 5 iterations gnome-shell freezes and xserver restarts
