*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1243806 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1243806 I confirm this problem is still with us in 14.04. Just to clarify, the problem occurs not just when the combined length of data in all columns is as wide as the frame of teh nautilus. I see it when some columns have space beyond the data they hold and still can not resize the columns. So we have two cases. 1. When the data of all columns is narrow enough. You do not care that you can not resize the columns. However in this case it is not huge problem because you can see all teh data. 2. When the data of all columns is so long that it does not fit. Example is when you search for data and the path is long and so as pointed out by Mario so eloquently you see: instead file name and path you get: fi. /home/smith/class2014/this/that fi. /home/smith/class2013/blah/. fi. /home/smith/class2012/so/and and this is the situation when it hurts a lot. thank you for listening -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205055 Title: Impossible to change column width of Nautilus in list view To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1205055/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 (32) and this is happening for any window in list mode, not only trash. When I maximize the window, I can resize the name column to the right to the point where the remaining columns fit. After that, it isn't possible (but, at least, you have a much greater name column).

Still seeing this behaviour with Nautilus 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu8 on Ubuntu 14.04. I noticed it in my Rubbish Bin... The Original Location column contains some very long paths which push all other columns to their minimum widths, which is why they are not apparently resizeable. Unfortunately this results in a Name column with only ellipses and no letters. If I hide the Original Location column, I am able to see the file names and resize all columns as normal. The Original Location and Location columns, at a minimum, need to be set to ellipsize, and the Name column needs a sensible minimum width of 5-6 characters. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205055 Title: Impossible to change column width of Nautilus in list view To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1205055/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1205055] Re: Impossible to change column width of Nautilus in list view
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.

[Bug 1205055] Re: Impossible to change column width of Nautilus in list view
Hmm. I just experimented with your problem here and notice that if the window is not wide enough in list view, you cannot stretch the contents of the Name field past the Questions: Do you get the double arrow - cursor when you hover over the | divider between the Name and Size fields? If you get the double arrow, Can you then hold the left button and drag to the left to make the Name field *smaller*? ...and then does dragging it back to the right work until the contents of the Modified column hits the right side of the window? I just checked and see that e.g. Nautilus 2.32 from GNOME 2.x would allow stretching the Name column to the right and beyond, creating a horizontal scrollbar. It appears that horizontal scrollbars are gone from Nautilus/Files 3.8.2. Maybe that is what you're missing? If so that appears to have been another GNOME simplification (see also the enforced spatial Nautilus controversy of a decade ago or the We've Decided You Must Have a Clock And It Must Be Centered In Your Top Panel of GNOME 3). Possible workarounds: * You can 'emulate' the horizontal scrollbar behavior clumsily by dragging the window around and stretching it wider than the screen (drag it so left edge hangs off left edge of screen, then widen to right, then drag the whole window back and forth. * For long paths, you can turn off the Location column under Visible Columns in the v dropdown menu, and have something close to every other operating system's behavior where the current path is just shown in the navigation bar for the window. I agree that more of a 'split line' view for search results would be great, so the full path could show below the items returned, or developers could bring back the 'caret'/'indented' sort of expanding tree view naturally indicating the parent directories - which I miss greatly when not searching, too. (I'm guessing the old code for that 'broke' at some point during the Nautilus rewrite or it would not have gone away.) And I agree that it was kind of ridiculous to get rid of horizontal scrolling entirely, especially now that mouse wheels with left/right tilt are common, but I'm guessing they conflicted visually with the sticky note that has replaced the status bar to see the size and item count for the selected item. Which is sort of redundant in list view where Size is a column by default.

You may also want to try installing XFCE's Thunar which appears to have similar scrollbar behavior to old Nautilus.
