Public bug reported:
The problem seems to be that nautilus re-parses the list of files in a
folder after an alt-tab to resize dynamically the column widths, e.g.,
the name column will be made wider if there is a file with a very large
name. What happens is that if you have a large folder, upon a window
redraw (with alt-tab for example), the column width for 'Name' is set to
a small value, and then increases when a larger file name is found. This
produces a weird effect with the columns changing sizes multiple times -
not particularly nice, and I believe will be much more problematic on
very large folders. Isn't there some way of caching the previously
computed value on this same folder and only refreshing it once, thus
making it invisible to the user?
Running updated Ubuntu 12.10 64 bits, nautilus package version
1:3.5.90.really.3.4.2-0ubuntu4
I witnessed this in a folder containing only 71 files. There was a file
with a considerably longer file name at the end of the folder (e.g.
twice as long, 31 characters vs 15 characters in the first files)
