Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2006-04-17 14:09:09 UTC 
To reproduce: click on the desktop, ctrl-F (make sure you are using spatial nautilus), close the window, and ctrl-F again. The size and position are reset. This is pretty bad since it goes completely against the spatial paradigm.
Comment 1 Sergej Kotliar 2006-04-17 15:28:12 UTC 
Yeah, seeing this too.
Didn't find any duplicates either, so confirming this bug.
Comment 2 Christian Neumair 2006-04-20 11:52:52 UTC 
Each of the search directories has a random URI (x-nautilus-search:///randomized), so the metadata does not refer to the same URI. Maybe when loading the initial geometry from x-nautilus-search:/// should be queried for search directories, and  geometry modifications should be saved to x-nautilus-search:/// as well.
Comment 3 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2006-11-03 14:23:45 UTC 
From what I understand, getting this to work for search "virtual folders" is trickier, but could the "regular" spatial search window be fixed for the next release? (I mean the window that appears when you do ctrl-F... should be feasible as it could store 2 keys in gconf or something)
Comment 4 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2007-08-08 21:32:49 UTC 
still here in 2.19.6. Can this be looked at for gnome 2.20, especially that ubuntu now ships tracker activated by default with nautilus support? Or at least confirm this bug?

Spatial mode was removed for GNOME 3, closing as OBSOLETE
