Description of problem: This started within the last week. Nautilus takes way too much time opening folders that contain a large number of items. I timed it when opening /usr/share/doc, it took 1 min 10 seconds. It only has about 900 items in it. And once it is open, it is slow to respond to a double-click. While waiting, cpu usage is about 50% the entire time. But there is little to no disk i/o during the wait. I tried uninstalling extensions, but there is no change in behavior. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Nautilus 2.30.1 How reproducible: 100%, but didn't start until recently Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Nautilus 2. Browse to any folder with a large number of items, such as /usr/lib/ 3. wait for about 60 or more seconds, depending on number of items. 4. Double-click a sub-folder. 5. wait 5 or 6 seconds Actual results: Takes one minute ten seconds to open /usr/share/doc (956 items). Takes 5 or 6 seconds to open a sub-folder, without giving any immediate feedback as to whether it detected my double-click. Expected results: Operate without so much wait. Additional info: Oddly, speed is excellent when browsing with open file dialog boxes (such as gedit).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
