Description of Problem: For some reason, the nautilus file browser seems less stable if list view is used to organize the icons. Double clicking an icon has hung the browser several times. I can't come up with a 100% reproducible scenario, but I have yet to see the same behavior while using the icon view. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.0.0-6 tree: Limbo-re0701.1 How Reproducible: 60% of the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. start GNOME and launch "Start Here" 2. change to "View as List" 3. double click on a few icons, eventually it will hang.

See request for info on upstream bug.
I'm not seeing the hangs anymore, though I've discovered some other strange behavior (bug# 72027). I'm fine closing this as WORKSFORME since I can't reproduce it with the latest code (2.0.4-3). I'll reopen if it resurfaces.
