GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 686842
Snapping Nautilus to the side of the screen makes close button disappear
Last modified: 2012-10-25 21:26:58 UTC
Snapping a window of nautilus to the right or left side of the screen in Gnome-Shell causes the window's title bar to disappear, including the close button. This is inconsistent with other applications, most of which only seem to hide the title bar when maximized. It is also impractical because it removes the most obvious method to close the window (the close button).
-> gnome-shell Nautilus isn't really involved in the decision to hide the close button, we only set the hide-titlebar-when-maximized hint. What you see is the normal behavior the Shell has with half-maximized windows that specify such a hint. I agree this could be confusing though - CC-ing Jon and Jakub.
