When I refresh the window file appears again. If I try to display it's properties with Alt+Enter - nautilus crashes and restarts. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Right-click on a large ( > 2 Gb ) file 2. OR Select it and press Alt + Enter 3. Actual Results: The context menu is inactive, file disapears. Second step causes nautilus to crash.

I have this same error. Sometimes I take images of my DVDs, these files get arount 4GB in size. If I right click them they disapear from the nautilus view. On the odd side I by coinsidence noticed that if I burn the image file onto a DVD (not burn the dvd image, but burn the image file on to a dvd!) then I can right click and say open it in gmplayer. This is very strange. I run Gentoo with gnome 2.8.
Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. The crash is fixed in 2.8.3/2.10, the disappearing big files are actually a gamin bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 158904 ***
