Title:
  nautilus crashed with signal 5 in _XReply() - drag and drop crash

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  To reproduce on a fully updated Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 system with
  Unity:

  Step 1: Start nautilus

  Step 2: Drag and drop a file to any target: to a different folder in
  the same nautilus window, to another folder in a different nautilus
  folder, etc. ... The target is irrelevant.

  Expected to happen: File successfuly copied or moved.

  Actually happened: Mouse pointer changes to a hand with a plus sign.
  Source file moves only slightly and then freezes, never makes it to
  the target. Application locks up for a few seconds, and then the
  application window vanishes. Crash report is then generated.

  Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

  Nautilus package version: Installed: 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu6

  Additional (and maybe relevant) notes:

  1) Drag and drop function seems broken generally, across applications,
  not just in nautilus. For instance, same behavior appears when trying
  to drag and drop a Thunderbird message to another Thunderbird folder,
  or when trying to drag and drop a cell or a range of cells within the
  same Libreoffice Calc spreadsheet.

  2) Interestingly, application windows can be dragged and dropped
  across display monitors (3 monitor setup), without any problems.

  3) I am using proprietary NVIDIA drivers, but please do not suggest
  using nouveau drivers, because they work horribly (heavy display
  corruption, pixelated screen, and constant mouse flickering)

  4) Graphics setup: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 450 card with twin GPU and 4
  heads. NVIDIA propietary driver version 340.102 (installed from ubuntu
  repositories, not from proprietary NVIDIA installer; correct driver
  for this card according to NVIDIA documentation). 3 monitors connected
  in a simple horizontal layout.

  5) Nautilus extension installed: nautilus-share  0.7.3-2ubuntu1

  6) Attaching a nautilus debugging log from terminal command:
  G_DEBUG="all" NAUTILUS_DEBUG ="All" nautilus

  7) Attaching X Org log file with -logverbose 6 option
