I don't know what I've changed from default. This installation is a few years old now, I've probably poked and prodded at all kinds of things.
This morning however it seems to be doing 4 columns. I don't know if it remembered a resizing I did in a previous session, or something's updated and changed, or what it is. -- 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/1292759 Title: Nautilus default window size is slightly too small Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When you open a nautilus window, it is slightly too narrow to show four columns, so instead it shows three with a chunk of space wasted. See the attached screenshot. It probably should remember the size it was last made, or at least be a little bit wider.
