GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 157415
Scroll Position Not Remembered
Last modified: 2005-08-29 09:34:20 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. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2004-11-04 23:38 ------- Unknown platform unknown.

do you still get the issue with nautilus 2.8 ?
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
Thanks for your bug report. I can still verify this issue with a recent Nautilus version.
Created attachment 51344 [details] [review] Proposed patch I've also submitted this patch to the nautilus mailing list [1] for review. [1] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2005-August/msg00224.html
The patch is pretty obviously safe, so I commited it even though its late in the cycle.
