Bug Description

Intrepid, latest updates.
ii nautilus 1:2.23.90-0ubuntu1.90-0ubuntu1

It looks like nautilus does not include "hidden" dot-objects while it calculates used disk space.

To reproduce:
1. Create an empty folder, lets say "test"
2. Pick a folder with data (lets name it "data") and copy it twice in the newly created folder "test".
3. Rename one of the copies, so that it starts from the dot i.e. ".data"

Check the properties of "test" folder. The size reported will be half of the size that is actually in use.
