brent #17 not fixed for me. drop a file and poof you're in the new folder
I have a #21 that's pretty common now
The next sync will contain Nautilus 43.1 which contains a huge number of fixes. Personally I haven't seen #17 again since the middle of November, when I added the patch to fix it, but hopefully something else in the new version gets it in order for you too (as well as #21, which could be caused by a number of things that have been fixed in the meantime). I'll keep an eye on the Nautilus repository of course to see if any relevant patches are mentioned.
odat4 As @[deleted] mentioned that package is not the whole MATE desktop or anything like that, but simply one of the basic (or THE basic) MATE libraries. Caja is a MATE project after all.
It's not very big either:
Installed Size: 3.60 MB, Package Size: 626.00 KB
(could possibly be split up and stripped down, but I don't think it's worth the effort atm)
