To clarify what is meant by keyboard scrolling is that if you select the first file in the folder and then use the down key to move forward (zoom level -150% - compact view) after some time the selection skips a lot of files and moves to one of the last few files in the folder. There will be a few more files but the files cannot be selected using the down key. However, it is possible to move up or left using other keys but when the down key is pressed it again skips files.
To reproduce the problem Open nautilus (compact view - zoom 150% - sorting by name) open the folder /usr/bin now select the first file using in the keyboard. Now keep on pressing the down key Do not hold the down key pressed but release and press all the time to select the next file. Otherwise the problem may not be understood After selecting many files you will find that some files are now skipped Pressing the down key any more does not help in selecting files further down. You can however select previous file by using the up arrow key. other key movements are possible but if the selection is changed by using other keys and now you press the down keys it will again jump and skip files This does not happen when the zoom is set to 100% This happens in folders with a lot of files (like /usr/bin) -- keyboard scolling not correct in nautilus column view for folders with large number of files like /usr/bin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262154 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
