Assuming Fix Released, please change the status back to New if you have
the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04 or Cosmic, I agree with the Files
developers, this feels like a problem elsewhere in the stack though I
don't know how to prove this or where else in the stack the problem
could be.
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Fix Released

Title:
awfully slow to respond when drawing selection rectangle
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
open a folder containing some files
click on an empty zone of the window and start dragging as if you wanted to
select some files
Expected behavior: as you move the mouse cursor while holding down the mouse
button, the selection rectangle should be continuously redrawn. This redrawing
should happen at a very fast rate (like more than a dozen times a second at the
very least) so you would have the impression it is "continuous". Also, this
should consume an almost undetectable amount of CPU.
Observed behavior: the rectangle is not redrawn until you stop moving the
mouse cursor. If you keep moving the mouse cursor, it will never be redrawn at
all! If you do stop moving the mouse as you normally do, you will get the
impression that the animation is terribly jerky, as if the computer was doing
too much work.
CPU consumption reaches 100% while you move the mouse, whether or not the
selection rectangle is redrawn.
The developers upstream say this is not an issue in Nautilus itself (I wonder
how they can be so sure).
