Description Dick Gevers 2007-07-20 06:20:32 UTC
Please describe the problem:
In any directory, under any window manager, rightclick and choose "Create Document > Empty File". Per user this works the first time, but afterwards it cannot be accomplished anymore.

On the other hand the route menu > File > Create Document > Empty File
works every time.

I have tried to find any warnings, errors or output, but neither console, .xsession-errors, gdb or strace do I find anything of help.

Steps to reproduce:
See above. 


Actual results:
First attempt of any user: an empty file is created. Subsequent attempts: nothing happens

Expected results:
That an empty file is created every time.

Does this happen every time?
Yes, except the first time for a new user.

Other information:
Using nautilus from rpm: nautilus-2.19.5-1mdv2008.0 under Mandriva Cooker.

Ubuntu bug about that on https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/125461
Comment 2 Peter Sääf 2007-07-26 22:24:01 UTC
I think this is a dupe of bug 449371 where I just posted some additional information about a work-around.
Comment 3 Dick Gevers 2007-07-27 15:17:21 UTC
I doubt that. This is a different problem.
Comment 4 Pascal Terjan 2007-08-23 11:47:25 UTC
Actually I now think this could be a duplicate of bug 449371, because right clicking works
Comment 5 Dick Gevers 2007-08-23 17:35:01 UTC
Ah, that never occurred to me. Closing then.
Comment 6 chuchiperriman 2007-08-31 21:04:33 UTC
I have the same problem on 2.19.6. If I click on new file -> empty, it doesn't do anything... (Ubuntu Gutsy)
Comment 7 Dick Gevers 2007-08-31 21:29:16 UTC
Do Ubuntu people update closed bugs? Sounds gutsy.
