re: my #38 above: Those screenshots accidentally expose another funny behavior - yes, when the yellow 'tip' appears at the bottom of the window it does at least tell you about the individual file that's been highlighted.
Apparently in the contrived case of a window that small (felt like fitting both in one png and not sharing the labels of my external drives) it doesn't fully appear, different bug. But at normal window heights that part does work if you feel like individually examining each one. -- 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/1243806 Title: The names column has its width dictated by other columns Status in Nautilus: Invalid Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “nautilus” source package in Trusty: Triaged Bug description: Folder names in Location area keeps the width even though when I go back to upper folder. First of all this new downgraded nautilus folder section holds its width and I cannot even change the width at all. Then when I go deep down lower folders or open folder with long name, it would squeeze down the "Name" part and I cannot even see names anymore. Then when I go up to upper folder or root, I cannot see the names anymore becaue location column takes up all the space. Once I click one of the unseen folder, I may see the names again. This is one of too many problems of 13.10.
