Other Locations label is dimmed after mounting, until a redraw occurs

Created attachment 352513 [details] screencast of Other Locations label becoming dim after mounting Not exactly a life-ruining bug, but I thought it would be worth bringing up anyway! This is intermittent, and I've not figured out exactly when it does and doesn't occur... but when it DOES, the process to replicate it is this: * Open Nautilus * Click on the Other Locations label * Mount some drive from there * Nautilus opens the root of that drive * The Label loses its selection highlight but then appears to be dim/disabled * This remains until redraw (e.g. hover over the label or backdrop the window) The dim look on the label gives a misleading impression that the Other Locations view is disabled, but it isn't. And presumably this is not intentional for any reason, especially because of how intermittent it is. This might be influenced by the Shell popup for entering a sudo password to mount the drive - I think I've seen it happen more after that, but I'm not sure if it's strictly required.
Created attachment 352554 [details] screencast of bookmarks after plugging usb stick I saw something like this also with bookmarks and labels of removable devices with Adwaita default. I've thought that something is wrong in my build environment, but obviously, it is not only my problem. It seems it can be reproduced simply by plugging usb stick...
Sounds like bug 763517, might be caused by the same thing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 763517 ***
