[Bug 2012199] [NEW] nautilus crashes during search or bulk filename editing

[Luke Goshen]

Public bug reported:

EVERY search or bulk file renaming action causes nautilus to crash
immediately. All searches cause nautilus to crash immediately. No search
ever comes through. Simple typing in the search bar, or as much as
clicking on it causes nautilus to crash.

Once multiple files are selected and Fn+F2 (Rename) action is selected,
nautilus crashes even without allowing the rename dialog box to appear.
Note that single file renaming still works.

The crashed window gives the option to wait, but waiting never solves
the problem, and I am always forced to restart nautilus after force-
quitting.

What is causing this problem? If this issue is not widespread enough to
receive a bugfix, could the developers guide me with this. I find doing
a fresh install risky because of lack of enough storage for a complete
PC backup.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: grub-installer (Ubuntu) => nautilus (Ubuntu)
