Bug Description

This is not the first time i have seen this bug nor is Linux Mint the only distribution i have seen it in. This bug seems to be present in any gnome based desktop environment. I have a 64Gb SuperSSpeed SSD in my system. when i view the drive properties for some reason it says i have 140 Terabytes of data on it. I know it is not the disk that causes the bug because i have seen this before on my old Debian based server which had a 500gb Seagate mechanical drive. on my old Debian server it said that i had hundreds of terabytes of data as well. This bug does not always show but i have seen it happen twice now all on GTK based desktops. I do not know what causes it.
