Normally I never use Nautilus, but I was talking someone through creating permissions on a folder over the phone and we kept getting stuck because I kept telling him to give read/write permissions to the folder, when really what I should have been saying is 'create and delete' which is what it says for the folder permissions in Nautilus.

After Matt confirmed the bug it hit me that this is really a UI design bug. What I would do is take away the 'file permission' drop downs on that properties window and have a button which says 'change permissions on enclosed files'. Then when you click that button, it asks for the three permission drop downs. That would say to me that these permissions are not 'properties' of the folder which is the way it seems now.
