nautilus crashed after middle-click-drag-dropping file to pathbar button

[Mark Campbell]

Attempted to create a link to a file in the directory one level up by dragging and dropping onto the pathbar button for that directory using the middle mouse button. The context menu that contains the option to make a link did appear, at which point I selected that option. After a few seconds, the nautilus window disappeared. After restarting nautilus, navigating to the destination directory revealed that the link had not been created.
