Description Simon Box 2013-11-01 11:56:05 UTC 
This bug can be reproduced by selecting a directory with a large number of files occupying significant disk space (e.g. > 1GB). Right click the directory in nautilus and select properties.

Expected behaviour: In the "Contents" field of the "properties" dialog box nautilus should display the correct number of files in the directory and sub-directories and the disk space used (e.g. "67,292 items, totalling 10.3 GB"). Or nautilus should indicate that this information is unknown and/or being computed.

Actual behaviour: nautilus displays incorrect values for the number of items and disk space (always an underestimate), which periodically update (increase) until the correct values are reached. Between updates there is no indication that the values are still being computed or that the currently displayed values are wrong.
