Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better.
I cannot see this being unexpected behaviour -- you are giving out
conflicting formatting options.
>From the info pages for ls:
`-1'
`--format=single-column'
List one file per line. This is the default for `ls' when standard
output is not a terminal.
`-x'
`--format=across'
`--format=horizontal'
List the files in columns, sorted horizontally.
What ls is doing is respecting the *last* format you asked for. The most
I can see happening is there could be a warning that '-1ยด conflicts with
'-x', and the last of these two options given will be used.
In other words: 'ls -1 -x' does not make sense (and is equivalent to 'ls
-x').
I am tending to close this bug INVALID unless you comment on it.
