Bug Description

Hi. The problem is that when i create a folder with dot ( . ) prefix in nautilus , and after pressing Enter button it shows (Untitled Folder) instead of the folder name.

I mean for example i create a folder with name ( .mymovies ) and after i press Enter button , the folder name is ( Untitled Folder )
Until I refresh the nautilus page and folder gets hidden as expected.

you can see that in pictures that i upload with this bug report.

In Ubuntu 15.10, using Nautilus 3.14.2, following the above steps the invisible folder is created, however, it also creates an Untitled folder as well.

To prove that the invisible folder is being created:
- make a new folder that starts with a period (.testfolder)
- go into terminal, and do ls -la | grep testfolder

.testfolder will exist alongside Untitled Folder.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 15.10 (wily) reached end-of-life on July 28, 2016.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
