I have posted a video on YouTube showing this bug before finding this bug reports (thanks Dino99!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxB5TsqbojM I'm experiencing this on Nautilus 3.5.90 in Quantal up-to-date (Aug. 24th, 2012).
I think I can provide some additional info. 1) I do not see the bug when I use a New instance of Nautilus to browse a new, empty directory: sudo killall -s KILL nautilus cd $HOME mkdir nautilus-test cd nautilus-test xdg-open . 2) I do not see the bug if I create files in this new directory sudo killall -s KILL nautilus cd $HOME/nautilus-test //Create some example files touch test1 ls /usr/bin | tee -a ls-output.txt cp /usr/bin/ld ld.bin xdg-open . 3) Resizing the columns does not work: They return to the previous width. As far as I can see, they behave like this: - "Size", "Type", "Modified", "Group", "Location", "Mime Type", "Owner", "Permissions" are set to have as small width as possible. - "Name" takes the entire remaining width. - This widths are refreshed every time you click Nautilus window. 4) As a consequence, one can maximize/minimize the symptoms of this bug by changing the order of (and/or adding/removing) columns (at "Gear Icon", Preferences, List-Columns). If "Name" is the last to the right, for example, the effect is minimized. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018718 Title: columns width redrawn by multiple events Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Quantal i386 logged as gnome-classic when nautilus is opened, then the columns width is disturbed & redrawn if events like: - mouse click somewhere inside nautilus - opening a terminal - loading an other app like browser etc - nautilus window where the contents are larger than window, then it's seen simply with focus on/off/on, ect other users also have seen this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12058978&postcount=6 Compiz* has been purged but seems not related , and Ambiance theme is used on my side, but seems also not related with this problem.
