Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Nautilus shows a message that there are too many file to show them all, if a folder contains more then 10000 files. But if I continue to work on that folder (selecting them all with Ctrl+A, deselecting a few, trying to delete) nautilus freezes and crashes. During the freeze, it does not use any CPU time, but there is no response and no graphic update.
I might depend on the available memory, since it takes sometimes a minute before it crashes. And while I am working in that folder, the total number of files on het bottom-left is still counting. The folder was in icon-view.
After reducing the number of files to 10000, I still got the message (too many files to show them all), but Nautilus did not crash. And I could easily delete them in two steps (in two steps, because I didn't see them all).
Ubuntu: Dapper (upgrade from Breezy), with all updates.
CPU: AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1400
Memory: 512MB
Kernel: K7
Nautilus: 2.14.3
