Package: nautilus
Version: 3.14.1-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Method
~~~~~~
1.) Open up Nautilus
2.) Navigate to a folder where you want to find the file size of contents
3.) Select the file(s)/folder(s), right hand click
4.) Click on the option "Properties" in the menu

Expected Results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Properties dialog will appear


Actual Results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nautilus will lock up, will not be able to use it even if I have multiple
windows opened. Eventually Gnome will inform me that Nautilus has potentially
crashed.
Other times, it has taken over a minute to load the properties dialog.

Notes
~~~~~
Does not happen all the time, about 50% for me. When it does occur Nautilus
will not open unless I either;
- Open using root permissions
- Use command 'pkill nautilus'

I can replicate this issue on two separate computers running Debian 8.7
