What Happened?

Noticed this issue while downloading then seeding Elementary OS in /Downloads, and attempting to move other files located in /Downloads.

Unticking Show Local Thumbnails in Files' settings seems to fix the below problem.

Steps to Reproduce

Have torrent client operating with a file downloading or seeding
Open /Downloads in Files
Right click, copy or cut a file located in /Downloads
Attempt to paste elsewhere
Files hangs, then crashes

(n.b. using keyboard shortcuts to CTRL X and CTRL V files seems to be more successful)

Expected Behavior

Didn't expect Files to crash

OS Version

8.x (Circe)

OS Architecture

amd64 (on most hardwares)

Session Type

Classic and Secure Sessions (I have tested in both)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Log Output

Hardware Info

This could be related to #2615 if the filenames include certain non-Latin characters which need to be escaped for file operations. Does it only happen if the torrent is running?
