Bug#939365: nautilus: Preference in Settings - 'Sort folders before files' malfunctioning.

[skyguide]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.30.5-2
Severity: normal

Files -> Preference -> Sort -> 'Sort folders before files' check box setting getting cleared between OS reboots or/and after OS returns from a stand by mode.

Assumed/Expected behavior is that checked box will stay checked and folders will get sorted and displayed in list view before files. 
Instead, up on the system reboot or/and system returning from a stand by state, that check box getting unchecked (cleared) and sorting of folders is mixed with the rest of the files in list view.
