GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 120933
browse: Folder selection / navigation issues
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Description of Problem: When you enter a folder and use backspace key to go back one folder, the previous folder seems to be selected (visually). However when you use the cursor keys to move up or down the folder selection jumps to the top of the folder listing. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Create 3 directories A, B, C 2. Open diretory C 3. Use the backspace key to go back Directory C is selected, use the down arrow on your keyboard; Directory B is now selected. Nautilus seems to reset the file/folder selection to the first object in the list, however not visually. This is quite confusing. There are simmilar issues with the file selector: When you open a new nautilus window and use the keyboard to select files/folders (down arrow), nautilus always selects the second object in the list instead of the first. How often does this happen? always Additional Information: Nautilus 2.2.4
I was able to reproduce a similar issue on HEAD, only with the list view, though this is just a wild guess since you filed this bug against the "file and folder operations" component. regs, Chris
Right, it only happens in list view - icon view works. I'm now running nautilus 2.4.0 on Gentoo. I'm not sure which component fits better than "file and folder operations". Feel free to change the component if necessary.
Not an issue in spatial view as you might imagine, but I still see this in navigational mode too. Updating status whiteboard to reflect a11y team's assessment of priority.
Is this a duplicate of bug #131226?
From a user's point of view I'd say so, yes.
