Bug Description

When you right-click on a file and select "properties", both the appriximate size in KB, MB or GB _AND_ the exact size in bytes are shown.

The same should happen when you right-click on a folder and select properties (and the size of its contents are computerd). Instead, only the approximate size is shown in this case.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
