I got this once. I dragged a file (or folder?) with the mouse and when I was over "back" button it crashed iirc. Anything I can do in order to help?

I can reproduce the crash with 3.0 following these instructions from the duplicate bug 640515.

1. left click on a folder
2. while holding the left button - right click and select open 
3. release buttons 
4. nautilus crash...

Comment 6 Cosimo Cecchi 2011-04-07 20:34:44 UTC

It seems we were not properly clearing up the DnD state when the menu popped up.
I pushed a fix for this to git master, closing as FIXED.
