Description William Harford 2004-11-05 04:38:07 UTC
Distribution: Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)
Package: nautilus
Severity: normal
Version: GNOME2.6. 2.6.x
Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc
Synopsis: Scroll Position Not Remembered
Bugzilla-Product: nautilus
Bugzilla-Component: View as Icons
Bugzilla-Version: 2.6.x
Description:
Description of Problem:
In Icon View, Arange Manualy the position of the scroll in the window is
not always remembered in Nautilus 2.6.0. It appears that the meta file
in ~/.nautilus is never updated to reflect the new scroll position. It
seams to stick on a scroll position and never update it from there.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open up any nautilus window with a bunch of files. Set the view to
Icon and Arange Manualy
2. Move files around and resize window so that you have a medium scroll
area (plenty of scroll bar)
3. Scroll to a position half way down or so.
4. Close Window
5. Reopen window Your scroll position will be properly remembered
6. Change your scroll position to another point.
7. Close Window
8. Reopen window. The last scroll position is not remembered but the
first one is.

Actual Results:
The fist scroll position is remembered.

Expected Results:
The last scroll position should be remembered.

This happens very often enough to be quite anoying. It makes the spacial
Nautilus more difficult to use and can some times be frustrating.

do you still get the issue with nautilus 2.8 ?
Comment 2 William Harford 2005-02-03 16:02:58 UTC
Yes when in Arrange Manualy. 

I changed my settings in all my directories to arange by name. 

I would like to use arange manualy by default (like the old mac finder) but this
bug makes it difficult to use. 

Nautilus version being used is 2.8.1
Comment 3 Christian Neumair 2005-05-12 09:36:53 UTC
Thanks for your bug report. I can still verify this issue with a recent Nautilus
version.

The patch is pretty obviously safe, so I commited it even though its late in the
cycle.
