Title: Nautilus loses keyboard selection when opening a directory with a single item (Ubuntu 24.04) Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nautilus source package in Noble: Confirmed Bug description: **Description:** When using Nautilus (Gnome Files) in Ubuntu 24.04, if the user navigates via keyboard into a directory that contains exactly one file or folder, the selection is lost. This makes it impossible to interact with the item using the Enter key or arrow keys, effectively breaking keyboard navigation. The only workaround is to manually press "Tab" to focus the single item. This issue does not occur in: - Ubuntu 22.04 - Ubuntu 24.10 - Ubuntu 25.04 **Steps to Reproduce:** 1. Open Nautilus. 2. Navigate to a directory that contains exactly one file or folder. 3. Use the keyboard (arrow keys + Enter) to open that directory. 4. Observe that no item is selected. **Expected Behavior:** The single item should automatically be selected, allowing continued navigation with keyboard shortcuts. **Actual Behavior:** The selection is lost, and no item is focused. The Enter key and arrow keys do not function unless "Tab" is pressed first. **Environment:** - OS: Ubuntu 24.04 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 24.04 Package: nautilus 1:46.2-0ubuntu0.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.11.0-24.24~24.04.1-generic 6.11.11 Uname: Linux 6.11.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.28.1-0ubuntu3.5 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Apr 25 19:13:15 2025 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'default-zoom-level' b"'small'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.preferences' b'default-folder-viewer' b"'list-view'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.preferences' b'fts-enabled' b'false' b'org.gnome.nautilus.preferences' b'migrated-gtk-settings' b'true' b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'initial-size' b'(1016, 740)' InstallationDate: Installed on 2025-04-23 (3 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS "Noble Numbat" - Release amd64 (20250215) ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, no user) SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm-256color XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) usr_lib_nautilus: file-roller 44.3-0ubuntu1 nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal 3.52.0-1ubuntu2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/2109385/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~debcrafters-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~debcrafters-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
