You may also want to try installing XFCE's Thunar which appears to have similar scrollbar behavior to old Nautilus. This will probably pull in a large bunch of XFCE dependencies but if you have the disk space that should be okay; then just add it to your dock as an alternative file browser.
(If there's a legacy Nautilus package that can co-exist with 3.x, I wouldn't mind one myself - sometimes I want the instant search, other times I miss that tree-browsing approach in list view.) -- 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/1205055 Title: Impossible to change column width of Nautilus in list view Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Gnome Nautilus 3.8.2 under kernel 3.8.0-26-generic (64-bit), using the mouse to change column width is unavailing. It's as if these widths are hard coded. This seems to be a reversion, since the problem has been reported by various people ever since 2007. Now, 6 years later, the bug remains unswatted. This sort of thing is an embarrassment to Ubuntu. Can something be done?
