Wow... I have to agree with you. There is influence of the Dropbox plugin on how Nautilus behaves and degrade its behavior. I haven't noticed it till now, but it looks like a bug in the plugin. 🤦 I don't want to disappoint you, but don't rely this bug to be fixed. Linux is NOT first class citizen here unfortunately.

Thank you for empathizing. It's a relief that you've spotted the problem. Is the plugin proprietary, and so unlikely to get any help from the community?

Yes and No. Yes, of course, it's Dropbox property and in this context is proprietary. No, it's FOSS so you can download the sources and fix what disturb you if/when you have/find some time. Take a look here. The plugin there is newer - not yet part of the official compiled distribution.

Thanks for your help. I raised an issue in the project on github.
