Description Vincent Untz 2011-04-05 13:46:41 UTC
When you start nautilus for the very first time, the sidebar is too small and nearly all items in there are ellipsized. For a first experience, that's suboptimal.

The very first size of the sidebar should really be computed based on the length of items in the list.

And actually, setting it to something like -1 or 0 in GSettings should just always make it automatically the right size.

This would be nice indeed, but I can't seem to find a nice way for the treeview to give me its natural size...
Comment 3 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-10-15 16:20:29 UTC
Using "get_size_request" like in http://git.pitivi.org/?p=pitivi.git;a=commitdiff;h=8bc73d4cba067808f94f6e49ea234c58fb61f9d5;hp=5697c4135475f47b1a59f1f6f877c08e39911844 would not work, would it?

Mass changing component for BZ cleanup, sorry for the spam.
Comment 5 António Fernandes 2017-10-24 11:44:44 UTC
This has been fixed somewhere in the past, now the sidebar is based on GtkListBox and the default size works as expected.
