Bug#797723: caja crashes when unchecking "Show hidden files"

[Marwy]

Package: caja
Version: 1.8.2-3+deb8u1
Severity: normal

   * What led up to the situation?

I opened the Edit -> Options menu and unchecked the "show hidden files" box.
Before, this option was checked (at least for some weeks).

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Caja crashed and disappeared.

Caja only shows this behaviour when I open it and *uncheck* the box. Once the
box is unchecked (and caja crashed) and I re-open caja, "Show hidden files" is
unchecked as wished. Also I can check and uncheck "Show hidden files" without
crashing caja.
