Summary
When I move a folder to the trash inside a folder encrypted by Cryptomator the file manager (Nautilus/Thunar/Nemo) crashes reproducable. If I delete the folder permanently everything is okay. This behaviour happens reproducable under vanilla gnome and under niri/dms with nautilus and with thunar.
