Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
I noticed this (minor but annoying) bug after upgrading to feisty around herd2. I am using defaultish gnome desktop and the current version of nautilus is 2.17.90-0ubuntu1. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a text-file to desktop (~/Desktop), for example foo.txt 2. Move the file's icon to somewhere else from its default place 3. Double-click the icon so it gets opened (in gedit here) 4. Write something and save 5. The icon is moved to upper left corner, while it should stay where it was (and did so in edgy). Creating a new user with empty $HOME did not help, so I assume it is not caused by any local settings. However, the bug does not seem to affect all kinds of files, for example icons of images stay in the same place when edited. I tried to find if the bug has been reported before but did not find anything. Closest match I found was http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330298 and it seems like there was some patch applied to nautilus post-edgy; maybe it's related to this. Anyway, this bug is quite annoying as I have become used to storing few frequently edited text files in the desktop, and now they all want to gather round in the left upper corner. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Gnome desktop icons are shifted when the file is edited https://launchpad.net/bugs/84262 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
