Issue
When in Icon view, nemo crashes when trying to rename a folder. Crash also happens when I try to create a new folder and name it immediately.
This is not a new bug and has been present in previous versions too. I do not know what causes it but I think the crash happens when nemo is still generating previews for files in the folder.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Make sure you're in Icon View
  2. Enter a new folder that has lots of items in it and make sure the thumbnail cache is empty
  3. Quickly Create a new folder (Shift+Ctrl+n)
  4. Name it something and press Enter.

nemo will crash if nemo is still generating previews when you hit the enter key.
I am unable to provide a 100% reproducible crash because it doesn't happen every time. But given the above steps, it should crash often.
