Bug description

All open folders instantly close when holding the mouse to select an area, if that area covers a file while it's being moved within the same directory.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run: touch aaa && sleep 2 && mv aaa bbb && sleep 2 && rm bbb
    The final sleep 2 && rm bbb aren't needed to reproduce the bug, but it's good to clean up after oneself.
  2. During the 2 second pause, click and drag your mouse over the aaa file. The window will close.

Expected behavior

Windows shouldn't close. The file selection should be whatever is under the mouse after the files move.

Additional information

Clicking on the file so it's selected, but not holding down the mouse didn't reproduce the issue.

Does the issue reproduce with nemo-6.xx as your version is no longer supported.

Omustardo commented

For Debian it looks like nemo/stable is 5.6.4-1. I haven't used any experimental packages before, but it looks like 6.xx is in the Debian experimental branch: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/nemo
Should I install that one? Or maybe I should just wait until a 6.xx reaches stable. This seems like a pretty minor issue.

Nemo 6.0.2 is the current stable version in LMDE, Mint

~$ apt-cache policy nemo
nemo:
  Installed: 6.0.2+faye
  Candidate: 6.0.2+faye
  Version table:
 *** 6.0.2+faye 500

Seems to indicate that the Debian repository version is older than the mint repository version?
