Video record with example of issue

Hello.

During the process of folder size counting, counter is randomly resets and starts calculates again. CPU load during this is rises to 100% (nautilus process).
I found that issue reproduces only if I choose two or more folders, one of them is ".mozilla" and another is a random big folder (>5Gb). 

When I try to count ".mozilla" separately, bug doesn't appear. 
Can't reproduce this with any other directory or file.

I thought, this issue is related to changes in .mozilla folder during the counting process that leads to Nautilus re-start it from zero. 
Also I assume that the issue isn't visible with small folders and separately with .mozilla because count ends faster than content changes.

You can see this issue in attached video recording.

Nautilus and Gnome version:  3.22.2
OS: Arch Linux with latest updates (without testing repository)
