I see this too with Nautilus 3.6.3 in Saucy. I can reliably reproduce this bug like this:
1. Start Nautilus. 2. Go to the /etc folder in list view. On a typical machine this directory will have a few hundred files. 3. Make sure you're displaying the default set of columns (Name, Size, Type, Modified). 4. Now move the window, or resize it, or right click on any file to open a context menu. The columns will jump around. I originally filed this upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698970, but then I realized I could reproduce this only in Ambiance, not Adwaita. So I believe this problem is theme-related. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #698970 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698970 ** Also affects: ubuntu-themes (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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 Status in “ubuntu-themes” package in Ubuntu: New 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.
