Description:

Sometimes I cannot rename a file or a directory using nautilus. After I press Enter to confirm, nautilus shows a message (see below) and the file I was trying to rename disappears (!). Currently I have to make a copy of a file before renaming or use `mv` in terminal that works reliably.

The message nautilus shows is «There is no "" in this folder. Perhaps it was just moved or deleted?»

I did not have this problem until I upgraded to GNOME3. Rename does not always fail, sometimes it is successful. It does not matter whether I start renaming by pressing F2 or by choosing "Rename" in the context menu. It also does not matter how I start Nautilus: from GNOME main menu (e.g., going to the home folder) or from terminal (close all existing Nautilus windows and run `nautilus`).

Additional info:
* nautilus 3.0.1.1-3

Steps to reproduce (the last time I ran into this bug):
1. Create ~/temp/ folder and "0001-In-messages-show-the-actual-text-user-entered-in-Fin.patch" file in it
2. Choose this file in nautilus and press F2 to start renaming
3. Before entering new file name wait two minutes or so
4. Change file name to "0001-In-messages-show-the-actual-find-text-user-entered.r5798.patch". I did not remove the old name and enter the new one from scratch, but changed the name step by step (add "-find", remove "-in-Fin", add ".r5798")
5. Hit Enter to confirm the rename operation.

For me, after that Nautilus shows the above-mentioned message and the file gets lost.
This task depends upon

did you changed the delete action from ctrl+del to del?

Yes. Seems that it's the bug I ran into.
