Description sun-rise 2003-12-21 20:58:03 UTC
Description of Problem:
The problem occurs when viewing with nautilus (as
icons view) a directory which is modified (eg.
some program is modifying files placed in that
directory)

When trying to select icons by mouse (first
clicking on the empty space, and draging, which
creates a selection rectangle)
and placing the cursor (still selecting) outside
of the icon view area (on the left, right, top or
bottom) the icons continue to scroll, even there
are no more icons in the direction pointed by
cursor. They're scrolling in series of pulses,
each pulse occure, i think, when nautilus finds
out that the directory has changed and refreshes
the icons.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. run nautilus (icons view) (eg on /home/joe )
2. run some process, that modifies a file in that
directory, let say: cat /dev/hda > /home/joe/file1
3. start selecting as described above and place
the mouse outside the icons area to force it to scroll

Actual Results:
 Icons are sliding and shaking, when normally the
view would stop scrolling.

Expected Results:
 nothing should happen. (the scrolling should 
stop, when the top of icon list is reached).

How often does this happen? 
 Always, as described above

Additional Information:
I'm using Mandrake Linux 9.1, Nautilus 2.2.1,
Gnome 2.2.0

What's the status of this bug? Can you reproduce it an a recent version of GNOME
such as GNOME-2.6, or better, GNOME-2.7?

I am allready using linux from a Mandrake 10.0 distribution with GNOME 2.4.1
built 2004-02-24 and Nautilus 2.4.2. And this bug is still there.

I haven't checked if this bug occures with more recent versions 
of GNOME.

I have tested this bug on Mandrake Linux 10.1 rc1 with Gnome 2.6.2 and Nautilus
2.6.3, and it's still there, but now the delay between view scrolling is larger,
perhaps because nautilus does not update the view as frequent as it did in
previous versions.
