browsing back to windows share in Nautilus 2.29.90 doesn't work

[joopbraak]

Binary package hint: nautilus

When I open a Windows share with a slow connection (with +500 directories) in Nautilus, then open a folder within the share, and subsequently try to go back to the root of the share by pushing the back button, the hourglass (or whatever it is nowadays) stays and nothing happens. So the first time I see the contents of the share, but after opening a folder and then going back, I can't see the contents of the share anymore.
Only closing Nautilus helps to be able to show the contents of the share once more.

Now sometimes getting the error message:

Could not display "smb://DOMAIN;administrator@server/share/".

Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
Please select another viewer and try again.

Or:

Could not open location 'smb://DOMAIN;administrator@server/share/'

DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

It seems to be working now.

The exact same problem is back again.

Open Places, "Connect to server..."
Service type: "Windows share", type in name of samba server and share, user name and domain name, make a bookmark.
I think it should be a samba share with a lot of folders (mine contained 837).
Open Nautilus.
Click on the bookmark.
Open one of the 837 folders (I opened a folder containing 1077 files).
Click the back button.

Samba version of regarding server: 3.0.24

I have two samba shares I access regularly, one works sometimes with the back button, the other one (which I have a slower connection to) almost never.

Now I just tried again and they both work, only when clicking the back button it takes much longer to show the contents of the root of the share then the first time.

So the main bug is that the first time it shows the contents of the share, but when you open a folder and then go back to the root, it doesn't or it takes much more time.

I keep you posted.

@joopbraak, Please could you check if this issue is still affecting you under the new release of nautilus 2.30.x? Thanks!
