Public bug reported:
Up to some time ago (I'd say pretty recently), when you opened a folder
in Nautilus, there used to be a kind of status bar at the bottom
indicating the total number of files. Long ago it used to be a proper
status bar, which was the most functional and usable. But then of course
I guess it looked too old-style, so it was replaced by the less
functional and annoying "overlay" kind of status bar (imitating that of
Google Chrome) on a corner, which would stay right on top of filenames
and hide them, until you'd move the mouse over it so that it would move
to the opposite side. A step backwards but at least there still was a
status bar with the total number of files.
Now it's gone. It only appears when you select some files, to show the
name and size of the selected file (if it's unique) or the number and
total size of selected files. But if you don't select any file, the
total number of files in the folder is not shown anywhere. You have to
select all, which is annoying.
I don't know whether this is just a "classic" bug (meaning unintended
behavior resulting from an error in code) or one more in a long list of
demential "working as intended" design decisions that have been
constantly degrading the usability and functionality of Nautilus in the
recent years.
