Created attachment 481749 [details]
ogg actuality of the blizzard of nautilus Trash instances from istanbul and cut down to size with pitivi

Description of problem:

About 1:20 into the process a blizzard of events fires up Trash browsers and locks up the desktop.  See the instructions for how this was accomplished.

At about 1:25 the video locks up and then poof! there are a bunch of nautilus instances at the bottom of the screen.  The machine got so loaded that istanbul couldn't keep up with the redraw rate.  The mouse was unuseable at that time too.   The mouse was focused on one or the other nautilus instances so that any mouse motion would resize the nautilus to odd shapes.  It stabilized out once all of them had achieved steady state.

This is repeatable

To recover
a) kill nautilus if you still have control of the GUI
b) acquire a console session and pkill nautilus from there.

This is repeatable with this flash card, but not with all dynamic-mount devices.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -q nautilus
nautilus-2.32.2.1-2.fc14.i686


How reproducible:

deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Insert a flash device in the flash card reader
2. Drag & drop the directory DCIM to the desktop
3. This will copy 2GB over

Actual results:

lots of nautilus Trash instances

Expected results:

smooth copying

Additional info:

The effect occurs when the mouse is inside the nautilus window.
The effect can be reproduced by using rsync in a terminal window off to the side.  So long as the mouse is within the boundary of the nautilus window the "crazy event" pattern occurs and excess Trash browsers pop up and the nautilus window tries to resize itself on every small mouse motion.

It's a micro SD card created on a Muvi camera and merely contains a DCIM directory and some pictures & movies.  

/var/log/messages says merely...

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 16:05:03 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
