Backtrace

The bug was reported on launchpad here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/492810

The bug report is:

After some hours i'm downloading with ktorrent, or azureus, or Trasmission (i've tried almost all of them) nautilus suddenly goes 100% and stays there 'till i reboot or shut down the process. I'm using ubuntu 9.10 64 bit version but i experienced this problem since ubuntu 8.04, i tried even 32 bit versions but the problem pops up nonetheless. I' m not a computer genius so if you need more info just ask (it's better if you give me instructions because i'm not familiar with debugging)

I am attaching the backtrace and screenshots.

Comment 4 moheed 2011-07-27 21:13:31 UTC
Is this bug fixed? Or is there any plan that this bug will be fixed? 
With my dual core cpus, i see same high cpu usage for nautilus averaging around 30% all the time. even if my system is idle.

If this bug is stucked in lack of info, i am up here to provide 
any more debug info required.

Comment 5 André Klapper 2021-06-18 15:14:55 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
