Bug#1007934: nautilus: Favorites functionality his horribly broken

[Brandon Lewis]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.38.2-1+deb11u1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Nautilus, as shipped on debian stable, seems pretty seriously broken.

Directory traversal via the breadcrumbs along the top bar does not
work: the breadcrumbs change, but the contents of the folder displayed are incorrect.

when using the bookmarks / favorites to switch between removable media
and local storage, the bookmarks randomly disappear.

I have seen a directories in removable media reported as empty when I
could verify using the shell that they were non-empty.

It is so bad that I am no longer interested in using GNOME as shipped
on debian stable, unless some kind of update is released in the near
future.
