Title:
Odd behaviour creating a hidden folder on the desktop on Ubuntu
Intrepid
Status in Nautilus:
Invalid
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
when I right click and create a new folder on the desktop and then rename the
default "untitled folder" beginning with a stop for example. .house then click
outside for the new name to take effect the default name still shows instead of
the new name.
right clicking on the desktop and unchecking keep aligned causes the name to
update and show the .house name.
I thought this was just a refresh issue but I then noticed this
strange behaviour
dragging the .house folder from the desktop to another folder results
in the new .house folder showing up in the destination folder but
there is still a .house folder remaining on the desktop when the
desktop .house folder location is checked it shows that it is in the
destination folder and not on the desktop
The folder should have been moved from the desktop to the destination
folder
logging out and then logging in the .house folder on the desktop
disappears, refresh will not help
if I had chosen not to logout and proceeded to move the desktop
.house folder to trash it seems at first that nothing happened as if
the desktop .house folder can not be deleted, however if I then
refresh the desktop icons by right clicking it and uncheck keep
aligned the .house folder on the desktop turns into a white file
looking icon with the same .house name and will only go away if I log
out and then login by this time the .house folder in the folder that I
dragged to will have been sent to trash by this action. of course it
would, after all the desktop .house folder had shown from its
properties that it was in the destination folder.
I suspect that some of this behaviour has something to do with how Gnome
works special icons for example but there sure seem to be some bugs there as
well.
This caused some data loss for me, fortunately the data was not
important and was backed up anyway.
