Bug Description

Ubuntu 18.04
GNOME nautilus 3.26.3

-When renaming a file it creates a warning "Pending operations on files, press cancel to cancel" but it appears AFTER the renaming process has finished (which is dealt with in a blink of an eye)
-When moving even a small file (1Kb for example) it shows progress bar which is stuck at around 33% and dissapears after Nautilus finally realizes that the file is already moved

Nautilus shouldnt display theese, especially the warning after renaming a file, and teh progress should only appear when dealing with large files

The solution seems to be installing and enabling/running zeitgeist and also chown`ing its directory in .local/share recursively to the user

I find it most irritating when renaming a file. I just tested and the renaming file window and offer to cancel is on screen for 25 seconds. I also do not like the new design which provides a small pop up window to do a quick rename of a file. The filename is often bigger than the pop up window so I have to scroll to find my insertion point. It could be this overhead that is causing the bug which did not happen before 18.04.
