Bug Description
This issue happens in Nautilus 44.0, both on Wayland and X11, and has also been noted in upstream Gnome as well:
https:/
When deleting files, only the file being deleted should be shown as deleted,
and when moving files/folders, the file/folder should appear as-is in the destination directory.
However, this is not the case here. When deleting, the file/folder gets deleted correctly in the filesystem, but Nautilus does not update the view properly. The file being deleted still remains, instead showing another file to be deleted and when undoing delete operation via [Ctrl-Z], it shows a duplicate of the deleted file/folder.
This issue persists until you refresh the view [F5], when the view shows up correctly.
Also, when moving files/folders to another directory, the file/folder initially shows up as a blank 'text' file named '', until you refresh the view, when it shows up correctly.
It is worth noting that this issue has apparently been fixed in Fedora and Arch for a while (see gitlab bug report linked above). Please implement the same fixes here in Ubuntu as well.
