Since the other bug that I commented on was marked as a duplicate of this one, I wanted to report my problem here as well. It's a big issue, I think even bigger than pressing F10 and then left, because nautilus has become useless for me and I have to do all my file operations on the console now.

Steps to reproduce:
1 - Open a terminal and execute top to monitor CPU usage;
2 - Open nautilus;
3 - Switch to the terminal and observe that nautilus goes to 100% CPU usage for about 20 seconds, freezing its UI (can't do anything with it);
4 - Try to use nautilus (expand folder tree, select files, open a different folder) and the CPU goes to 100% again and the UI freezes for a while again.

Here's some system and packaging information:

Yesterday when I tried this unity-panel-service was also going 100% CPU when I used nautilus. Today it is not doing that anymore. I've been checking for updates a lot lately to see if this issue gets fixed, so one of the latest updates might have fixed it for unity-panel-service, but not for nautilus.

Thanks for any pointers,
Vítor
