Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Ubuntu 8.04 It started as Alpha3 (I assume it has been updated to Alpha4 by daily updates)
I do not know how to check which alpha release it is
Nautilus version 2.21.90

Problem:
Nautilus left pane problem

When Nautilus is opened Home folder is on top, next is File System, then C, then D, then E then H

When I click on the triangle next to File System, File System goes to the bottom and C is where File System was and it says loading under C. I can open all others and all of them work OK.
I can click on C and it will open in the right pane (loading is still displayed under C in left pane)
If I then click on the triangle beside C Nautilus closes and reopens

The problem only happens if I try to open File Systems

I looked at system logs but they show nothing

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.
 We have instructions on debugging some types of problems. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Nautilus left pane problem

When Nautilus is opened Home folder is on top, next is File System, then C, then D, then E then H (see left pane of picture Nautilus-1)

When I click on the triangle next to File System (picture Nautilus-1), File System goes to the bottom and C is where File System was (see Picture Nautilus-2) and it says loading under C. I can open all others and all of them work OK.
I can click on C and it will open in the right pane (loading is still displayed under C in left pane)
If I then click on the triangle beside C Nautilus closes and reopens

I tried opening Nautilus in terminal window and I found Nautilus worked right if I used ROOT terminal but did not work right if I used user terminal.

Problem also in alpha5

More info:
I have Nautilus left pane set for tree
When I open Nautilus the first time after booting and try to open filesystem tree (click on triangle to the left of filesystem) is when I get the problem.
If I open filesystem in right pane (click on filesystem) Nautilus will work right until next reboot
