GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 765821
The symlink arrow emblem is not displayed in all symlinks
Last modified: 2019-09-22 14:11:08 UTC
Using Ubuntu 16.04 and Nautilus 3.14.3. Already reported the bug in Ubuntu, but was asked to report it upstream. Bug in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1576428 That small black curved arrow emblem that is shown in symlinks is not being displayed for all symlinks. Reproducing the bug may need a bit of trial and error. To reproduce, create symlinks from some of the files in /usr/bin (or some other folder) into the home folder. For example, in my case, symlinks to "apt" and "apt-cdrom" don't display the arrow emblem.
Thanks for reporting this. This is likely a duplicate of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/1189 It has been fixed, but may be reverted until performance issues are resovled.
