It seems to me that the most sensible approach would be to just remove the Computer button from the Places menu. Then you'd just open Home and select Other Locations. I think that would be more in keeping with the latest Nautilus redesign.
I'm not at all sure but we may want to do likewise with the Network button in the Places menu because it's now also accessible via Home -> Other Locations. -- 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/1743686 Title: File system folder in nautilus Artful/Bionic flashback session does nothing Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Go to Places > Computer, left-click to open "Files", then select File System either by double-click or right-click + open and nothing happens.
