Description of problem:
When using Nautilus to view files I noticed that opening /dev from 
Nautilus's "Tree View" causes the file manager to hang at 100% cpu 
utilization.  Viewing the same directoy by double clicking the directory ICON 
merely causes Nautilus that there are too many files and that some will not be 
displayed.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open Nautilus
2.Click on Tree view
3.Point treeview to /dev
	

Actual Results:  Application hangs at full cpu utlization until killed.

Expected Results:  Display the directory without error.

Last time I tried this, it did recover if you waited long enough... it was just
really really slow. I haven't tried with latest though.

Comment 2 Elliot Lee 2002-08-28 19:19:22 UTC
The problem occurs when expanding the tree view for /dev, not simply clicking on /dev in 
the tree view.

And, it does come back eventually like Havoc says.

Comment 3 Elliot Lee 2002-08-28 19:23:33 UTC
Hmm, I got it to hang forever, the second time I tried it.

Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2003-08-06 15:20:11 UTC
I can't get it do hang at all with the recent rawhide nautilus. Can you repeat
this with nautilus 2.2.5?

Comment 5 Ben Hsu 2003-08-20 05:51:42 UTC
I tried this with the Nautilus in 9.0.93 (2.2.4-4). I opened the side pane,
selected "tree" from the pulldown, and clicked on dev. I also tried navigating
up to / and down to /dev in the main pane. Both actions worked normally.
Nautilus took <5 seconds to open all of /dev (~7500 items)

Comment 6 Alexander Larsson 2003-08-20 08:18:51 UTC
The 2.3.8 in now should be even faster, so I'm closing this.

Comment 7 Michael Lee Yohe 2003-08-21 22:36:20 UTC
Confirming 2.3.8-1 is indeed MUCH faster.
