Description siddharth.mandhata 2011-02-14 20:06:22 UTC 
Hi,

I have Nautilus 2.32.0 on Ubuntu 10.10.

My problem is simple.
In Nautilus when I press the right arrow key starting from the first icon, the focus stops on the last icon in the same row instead of continuing on to the first icon of second row. To go to next row I need to press down arrow key.

As far as I know, this is not the default behavior of Nautilus.

Moreover, I have 3 different users on my system, and this problem is only on one login, and for the other 2 users (which are made after this problem started) this problem doesn't exist.

That is - in those 2 logins, when I keep pressing the right arrow key (starting from first icon) the focus keeps on going to next rows until I reach the last icon.

I have tried removing and re-installing Nautilus completely from Synaptic, but the ridiculous behavior persists.

I have no idea as if why this problem has appeared and what setting(s) I need to change to restore the normal/default behavior.

Although I can live with this thing, but it is irritating.
Please help me.

Regards,
S!D

I can't reproduce this with git master; can anyone?

As a follow-up to comment #6 in bug 642965, fritjofl: could you check if there are significant differencies in the gconf settings as well? Thansk!
Comment 4 fritjofl 2011-02-24 20:02:16 UTC 
hmm... what am i looking for? im not accustomed to gconf.
Comment 5 Stefano Teso 2011-02-24 20:36:47 UTC 
I'm no gconf expert either, but diff'ing the output of

$ gconftool-2 -R /

for the two accounts may provide some hint. Note that I have no idea whether the problem is related to gconf, this is just (hopefully useful) speculation.
Comment 6 fritjofl 2011-02-25 21:03:43 UTC 
diff found that everything was different :P maybe look at the sourcecode and get a clue of what could be wrong?
Comment 7 Tobias Mueller 2011-07-03 12:02:37 UTC 
Maybe just diff /apps/nautilus
Comment 8 Fabio Durán Verdugo 2011-11-30 06:24:12 UTC
