I can not replicate that experience, but after searching Google I found
this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/120746

It sounds like it might be related. Do you have Nautilus default to list
mode?

What version of Nautilus are you using? The link has problems starting
at version 2.21.90 and fixed in 2.23.2 for Ubuntu (probably doesn't
correlate to Debian). I am using 2.20.0-7 on Debian Lenny and don't see
your problem.

Hope this helps.

Have fun!
