Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I did some searching, couldn't find anything related. I've had this
annoyance for the past 2-3 versions (I believe this behaviour started
with whatever version of Nautilus ships with Hardy -- haven't verified
yet).
The annoyance:
With Nautilus in list mode, if you are in a folder that has several
sub folders and files -- if you try to type the name of the file or
folder you want and mistype, when you click off that folder to try
typing again, Nautilus automatically expands the first folder in the
list regardless of what you typed.
Here are the steps to reproduce:
* Open a natilus window
* Set the view to "list mode"
* Navigate to a folder that has several subfolders and files
* Using the mouse, select any random folder or file in the list
* Start typing the name of any other file or folder, but make a mistake at
some point in the middle
* Using the mouse, click some other random file or folder in the list that
is not the one that is currently highlighted, or the first one in the list
* ANNOYANCE: notice how the first folder in the list has auto-expanded
Like I said, this only started I believe after gutsy -- any thoughts on
how to prevent this? It's quite annoying when you're moving around the
file system quickly. Thanks!
