GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 118393
Emblems get overlapped by icon text
Last modified: 2010-08-02 13:03:14 UTC
Especially for files with several emblems, there are icons whose emblems are overlapped by the text of the icon, or even by the edge of the Nautilus window. I have attached screenshots to demonstrate both effects.
Created attachment 18628 [details] This shows both the window overlap and the text overlap
Created attachment 18629 [details] This shows the text overlap
Problem still isn't fixed in G2.4, adding GNOMEVER2.4 and GNOMEVER2.5 keywords.

Pasting comments from duplicate bug 131213: Opened by r.burton@180sw.com (Ross Burton) on 2004-01-12: The emblem positioning is weird/wrong. http://www.burtonini.com/computing/screenshots/nautilus2.5-bugs.png <alex> ross: the emblem positioning is interesting though. It seems like it didn't read the .icon files or something which has the emblem placement positions

The window overlapping issue should be fixed. The text overlap will require that we make the emblems belong to the icon bounds. This involves invalidating the icon size upon emblem change and such ... . Doesn't sound too hard, though.
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2005-November/msg00023.html yields some emblem sizing fixes for zoom levels != 100 %.
Bizarre placement for emblems is still an issue in 2.13.90 (Ubuntu) - they appear now in the top right corner which looks ugly; they ought to by default appear bottom left IMO. That said, the Human theme DID until recently place them in bottom left initially anyway. It seems to recently have stopped working, and now emblems appear in their ugly top right corner.
Thomas: Icon placement is up to the icon theme.

'Backgrounds and Emblems' have now been removed from nautilus master, see [1]. As it shouldn't happen with programmatically-added emblems, such as those coming from extensions, I think it's safe to close this bug as OBSOLETE. Please reopen if I missed something.
