Bug#930294: Nautilus slow to respond and consumes 100% CPU resource

[Vikram Vincent]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.30.5-2
Severity: important

Greetings,
With the latest upgrade of Nautilus I find Nautilus hanging

Running Nautilus from the terminal gives:
$ nautilus

(nautilus:15529): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:11:36.857: Duplicate child name in
GtkStack: Thumbnails

I tried removing the ~/.cache/tracker folder and then hard reseting the tracker
but to no
improvement.

htop show nautilus using close to 100% of a processor core.
Do let me know if I can provide more specific info to diagonise the problem
Thanks
Vikram
