Description Ben 2011-02-23 05:10:02 UTC 
Steps to recreate the bug:
- open any nautilus window;
- make sure you are viewing files as List View;
- create a folder or go to an empty folder;
- create one or more hidden files (your call) like ".fileA" inside this folder; (note there must be no non-hidden files)
- go to this folder parent;
- click on the arrow on the left of this folder name;
- "loading" won't stop showing up.
