Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-02-18 18:39:33 UTC
That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/25747

"When viewing a folder in nautilus 2.13.2, closing it and reopening it again, nautilus "scrolls up" one "icon line" from the last position.
...
> Thanks for your bug. Do you use the spatial or the browser mode. Is that new from this update? Does that happen on all the folder? Do you use the icon or the
list mode? That works fine for me with the icon/spatial mode.
...
I use spatial+icons mode. Happens in all folders, yes. The bug must have been introduced in 2.13.2 as 2.13.1 works flawlessly.
...
now it works fine on my desktop too. Strange but good :) Marking as FIXED.

sorry, should have rushed this one. On folders containing only images it still doesn't work.
...
> could you provide screenshots to describe what happen exactly? does that happen only with on folder or with different image folders?
...


I almost went mad this morning as I tested it again and nothing happened. Until I resized the window, then the bug reappeared. Here are the requested screenshots:

The number of images in a row certainly has an effect on this but I can't find a
logial way nautilus acts to describe the bug better.
....
> do you use the compact mode? Does is happen without it?
...
yes, I'm using compact mode. And it happens without it too.

you can even press CTRL+R and see nautilus scrolling up

another observation: When scrolling down to the bottom and afterwards often pressing CTRL+R really fast the scrollbar suddenly is at the top :)"

Comment on the ubuntu bug:

"Here's what seems to be happening:

Nautilus tries to put line up the top line of icons with the top of the
window, so that there's no partial icons when you refresh. But it
seems that sometimes it gets confused about icon heights.

Note, however, that hitting Control-R twice in rapid succession is
supposed to bring the scrollbar to the top. That's a feature.

Any news on this one? It still happens with nautilus 2.19.90.
