It looks like the problem is bigger than just the properties dialog since in
your video the nautilus window doesn't even appear the first time you run it.
Can you run nautilus with this command and post the output?
    TRACKER_VERBOSITY=3 G_DEBUG=all NAUTILUS_DEBUG=all G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all nautilus

Also, if you have installed any extra nautilus extensions, try removing them.
