Title:
Impossible to select files with long names in order with the keyboard
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Selecting files with long filenames using Shift and arrow keys causes
nautilus in icon view not to advance sequentially or not to advance at
all. Here's a test case:
1) Create a new folder and create empty files with long names in it
using the command:
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40; do touch "abcdef ghijklmn
opqrstuvwxyz ABCDEF GHIJKLMN OPQRSTUVWXYZ$i.txt"; done
2) Open the folder in nautilus, hold Shift down and start selecting files by
pressing the right arrow key.
Everything goes fine up to the end of the first row. However, when you
reach the first file on the second row and press the arrow key again
(still holding Shift down), the selection jumps back to the second
file of the first row. If you keep on pressing the arrow key, it will
repeat the process over and over. So by pressing the right arrow key,
you can never reach the end of the folder. As a user, I would expect
nautilus to progress sequentially to the second file of the second row
and so on up to the end of the folder.
In the example, I used default font settings and 50 % zoom.
