Dear Maintainer, This is quite difficult to explain clearly, hence the naff subject line, but here goes: When I navigate to a subdirectory of an NFS share, after a few seconds, Nautilus climbs back up the directory tree. For example, I point Nautilus to /mnt/fileserver/1/2/3/4/ and leave the window open for a minute or so. When I come back to that window it will be showing /mnt/fileserver/1/2 or maybe even /mnt/fileserver. The only way I can seem to get Nautilus to stay at a directory level I want it to, is to use "open in terminal" and open a shell at that level. For some reason that helps Nautilus "remember" its current directory. I've seen this behaviour for quite some time - probably since Wheezy. It happens with NFSv3 and v4, v4.1 and I believe autofs and fstab mounting procedures. Both client and server are running Debian.
