Bug Description

I'm experiencing some inconsistencies when using Nautilus and deleting files.

I've found a bug report upstream that describes the same behavior:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2941

Reproduced here for completeness:

Steps to reproduce

- Open a directory.
- Delete some files, either permanently or move to wastebasket.
- Refresh the current view.

Current behavior

- Folders that were not selected to be deleted disappear.

Expected behavior

- Only the selected files are deleted and removed from the file view.

This bug (which affects me on Ubuntu 23.04) has apparently been fixed in upstream Gtk:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/5873

Please pull the fixes into Ubuntu 23.04.
