Bug description
Nemo displays files of subfolder as part of current folder.
Note: This hints at a bunch of related (yet undiscovered) bugs, which all have this loading mechanism in common: apparently the core issue is asyncronously computing something and updating the view without checking for conflicting events in the meantime.
Issues I could imagine to be possible for the same reason are:
- skipped entries
- redundant entries
- mixing of entries
...
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new folder and in it a subfolder.
- Fill the subfolder with plenty of files which take a while to load due to their count
- View the subfolder contents from within the main folder by opening the folder preview dropdown list
- Close the preview while folder contents are still enumerated
- Observe the bug: The loaded folder contents are now placed as items within the current folder instead of the dropdown preview
Expected behavior
- Any ongoing operation (like subfolder enumeration) should be aborted when the view which triggered it becomes obsolete or the computation is part of another operation which got canceled
