File Manager Crashes

Problem  

Bug ID: 5029196 

The Nautilus file manager might crash if a directory structure is longer than 290 plain Latin characters.

Solution  

Do not create directory structures longer than 290 plain Latin characters, if you want to access the directory structures using the Nautilus file manager. There is no limitation to the character length of a directory structure when you browse the file system using the Terminal application.
