Bug Description
In Image Viewer (eog 3.10.2-0ubuntu5.1, running Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa, but with the 4.4.0 kernel), I'm noticing a weird behavior when I delete an image from within Image Viewer. I'll be scanning through multiple files (hitting Next, Next, Next) and wanting to delete a few of them.
1. The first time in a session that I delete a photo, no problem. Upon deleting Photo A, the program will automatically advance to the next Photo B.
2. Scan through more photos... Photo C, which I want to keep, then Next again.
3. Now I want to delete some subsequent photo D. I hit the Delete button on the keyboard...
4. It pops up 'Are you sure you want to move "Photo D" to the trash?', which is expected and correct. The bug is that while this dialog is open the viewer goes back to showing photo B. This is very troubling because I wanted to keep photo B.
5. When I hit "Yes", the dialog closes and the program automatically advances to Photo E, the one after Photo D was. (This is correct.)
Note that even though the program shows the wrong image while the dialog is open, the correct image (Photo D) is the one that's deleted.

This is not always repeatable, and I haven't yet figured out what causes the bug to appear. When it does happen, it happens consistently in that session, but this could also be related to something in the directory I'm viewing at that time.
