If you're quick enough, Nautilus opens a different folder than the one you double-click

[Teo]

This is not systematic, so it's pretty difficult to reproduce at will, but I have observed it at least twice.

I think this happens more probably when Nautilus is slow because it's loading all the information for the first time (i.e. nothing is cached yet), e.g. when you open Nautilus for the first time after boot.

- Open Nautilus
- Open a disk unit by double clicking on its icon on the left panel
=> when the contents of the folder appear on the right, the folder that had been selected last time you ran Nautilus, is selected by default
- Quickly double click on some _other_ folder

=> Nautilus opens the folder that was selected by default, even though you have double clicked another one!!!
