I have a small but frustrating problem: often, when I open a directory by navigating around nautilus and double clicking, it will show some of, but not all of the files I know are there. In the bottom right hand corner of the window, it will say "loading":

"loading..." image

There aren't that many files (directly in the dir; there are maybe 100 in a folder inside that dir), and the total size of the dir is 15MB anyway. There are a few ~3MB gifs and 3MB text files, but all totaling less than 15MB.

I've found that if I click that stop loading button, and then hit F5 to refresh, the files all appear.

I believe this question was asking about the same problem, but it was closed for some reason. The solutions given are "refresh the browser" (a workaround, not a solution) and "list the files in the terminal to see that they're really there" (we both already knew they're there).

This really can't be a solution though, because it seriously slows down my workflow. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04, and this happens on both my machines with it (they're both decently fast).

Any suggestions or things I could try?
