Improper CAJA relisting (based on icon view?)

[Daniel LaSalle]

If you didn't already knew, I specialize in exotic bugs. And this further proves my theory.

Using 20.04.2-latest and working with /usr/bin/caja, ~/Pictures sometimes (and very intermittantly) forgets how to presents itself.

One of the very first thing that I do on TTY7 after installation is /usr/bin/caja: edit -> preferences -> view new folders using: list view -> close.

But since I am unique, I change the ~/Pictures view mode to "Icon view" (click on ~/Pictures -> top bar -> drop down list -> select Icon view.)

And this looks like picture #1. So then all is well.

But sometimes, maybe once every 3 times, when I select a mounted NFS point that sits right below the Pictures entry as we can still see from picture #1 and then click back on ~/Pictures, then I get to see the following wickedness in picture #2.

Another exotic point to mention is that I use 2x screens in portrait mode (but I think this is irevelant)

PS: Interestingly enough, I have accesses several other folders from my local system and after 20x different tries, ~/Pictures always listed fine. NFS mounts is what really seems to be the cause of this.

PSS: this background.NAS links points to one of those NFS mounts (if that helps?)

Another point to mention is when I have the view of what is under picture #2 is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to select any objects in the right window (of messed up icons) and that I am required to click on anywhere else in the left panel before clicking back on ~/Pictures for it finally display proper AND allow me to interact via clicks anywhere in it.

I can now confirm that this bug doesn't always when previous folder was a NFS mount. The view is also messed when browsing from local to local.

(Also maybe this happens more often when there are multiple caja instances opened up)
