That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/37832

"Crash bug in nautilus/gnome-vfs (2.14.0-0ubuntu1)

Repro:
* create a directory (foo) on your webdav server (from another machine)
* connect to the webdav server with nautilus
* move into "foo"
* delete "foo" (from another machine)
* refresh (ctrl-r) -- you'll see several error dialogs. Click OK on each.
* now try to navigate to the parent directory via the "breadcrumb" bar.
* crash...

* You can also trigger the crash by attempting to refresh a second time.

If you need a webdav server for testing http://www.filecloud.com provides a free account with ~25MB of storage. That should be more than enough for testing purposes.

Note: when this bug is fixed, it would be a good idea to only pop up a single error dialog (or none at all, if possible).

One says: "Couldn't find "davs://username@servername/deletedfolder"

The second says: "The folder contents couldn't be displayed."

Comment 1 Christian Kirbach 2006-05-03 14:35:28 UTC

trace is unique and looks detailed. confirming.

Comment 2 Martin Wehner 2006-05-06 02:24:22 UTC

Fully reproduceable with 2.15.1

Comment 3 Martin Wehner 2006-05-08 23:17:40 UTC

Fixed on both branches:

2006-05-09  Martin Wehner  <martin.wehner@gmail.com>

	* src/nautilus-window-manage-views.c:
	(got_file_info_for_view_selection_callback):
	Re-set viewed_file after a location change failed. Prevents
	crashing over an assertion in viewed_file_changed_callback
	on slow filesystems. Fixes #339965.
