Description Rui Mesquita 2006-06-08 06:11:54 UTC 
the label that displays the item location(path) on the item properties window should scroll, as the user moves the cursor along it (with mouse, or with keyboard cursor keys)

right now, when the item is on a 'longish' path, the user must resize the properties window horizontally just to see the upper part of the path.

Bug 562547 suggests word-wrapping.

Changing component as a part of ongoing bug reorganisation work.

What is the progress status on this bug?  Because it really bugs me.  But seriously, I really would like this bug fixed because it is a big pain to me.  I do a lot of work with reorganizing files and folders and this is one thing that makes its harder then it should be for me.  This bug is 5 years old!  Please tell me someone is working on it
Comment 5 dth4h95 2011-08-31 20:27:59 UTC 
Even if you just had a word bubble pop up showing the full file path like Windows and KDE do, that would make me so happy :)

This bug drives me crazy, please do something about it. :)

This bug is now obscured by bug #657733 .
Comment 8 Daniel Boles 2017-03-06 18:41:56 UTC 
still an issue in 3.22 (albeit just a minor inconvenience)
Comment 9 Daniel Boles 2017-03-06 18:44:12 UTC 
This would require GtkLabel to support scrolling when it is wrapped and the selection moves. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79216
Comment 10 André Klapper 2021-06-18 15:48:33 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
