Bug Description

I'm running 12.04 LTS on a Dell Inspiron N5010 resolution 1366x768 and I've been having problems with Nautilus 3.4.2 getting stuck in the upper left corner of Unity when I want to re open it.

So as example, I open Nautilus, then move to another workspace and run another application, then I click on Home Folder icon to have Nautlius open and take me to the workspace it's on, I'll end up getting it to open up not even a 1/4 a view of it stuck in the upper left corner of the screen.

Or if I open it on the same workspace and then minimize it, this also happens, this also happens with one instance of Nautilus open, or if I open a new window and have a few instances of Nautilus running.

This is really irritating because this constantly happens, just about 1 in 5 times, meaning for around every 5th time I go to click on the Home Folder icon to bring the window back up I'll have this problem and I work on the computer all day long, so this is a lot of crashes going on, especially when I'm trying to get work done and then I have to find my way back through Nautilus to the directories I was working in, not very pleasant.

I truly hope this can be fixed soon, whateve is causing the problem.
