Since I upgraded Ubuntu Studio from 13.04 to 13.10 (nautilus 3.8.2) I have had the same problem as the first 2 posts here. After seeing the post saying that re-sizing nautilus helps, I played around with that. I noticed that the when re-sizing the zone I can't click on still has the same distance from the left side of the window, but I can click on "Modified" because the "Modified" column name has moved. Further playing showed me that the problem only starts after I go to a folder that displays a "MIME Type" column in Nautilus and then go to a folder that does not display that column. And the dead spot that I can't click on looks to be exactly where "MIME Type" column name was showing, which is all of "Modified" and the left side of "Owner" up to the middle of the "O". So, this bug appears to be in the code that hides "MIME Type" column.
If it is helpful, I get the "MIME Type" column when I view "/tank" which is my ZFS mount point.

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?
