Got perfectly the same bug here, running 12.04, gnome3 and eGalax touch screen.
I got a hunch that this has something to do with new touch friendly scroll bar, because in Thunar, that was installed as a replace everything is working fine(more or less). -- 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/1038812 Title: nautilus compact, icons views stop responding to touch clicks Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Expected behavior: able to click on files in nautilus 'Icons' and 'Compact' views Actual behavior: the file area in nautilus stops responding to left clicks to focus/select items as soon as I tap on my touchscreen. After tapping I am also unable to select items with usb mouse. Very reproducable, logging out/in to a new session starts with working Nautilus, that stops when tap occurs. Maximizing window and tapping on file area, tapping on desktop, etc. all cause the problem. 'List' view continues to work, other gtk programs continue to work, and left-click drag can select 'icons'/'compact' items even when simply clicking does not. touch device (from Xorg.0.log): evdev: Atmel Atmel maXTouch Digitizer: Vendor 0x3eb Product 0x211c Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release: 12.04 nautilus: Installed: 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1038812/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
