Comment 12 for bug 383927

I have this exact same problem. It is only occurring on an NTFS partition.
It is happening with multiple directories. As above I have found many ways around it. It all seems to point to the thumbnails though.
If I rename the directory I am able to open it and display correctly the first time. Once the thumbnails are created and I reopen the directory I either have files that aren't displayed or the directory just continuously tried to load.
Same thing happens if I delete my ~/.thumbnails directory.
The only way to display all the files correctly is to disable thumbnail viewing. Then the directory displays perfectly.
