Description zhengbobwen 2007-10-24 06:02:47 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I adjusted the window to small size, and create a folder with a very very long name. After entering the folder, the icons in location bar disappeared.

I tested it in the other machine. We are using Ubuntu 7.10

Reference: http://forum.ubuntu.com.cn/viewtopic.php?p=484951#484951
the pictures in this page show the bug.

Steps to reproduce:
1.  adjust the Nautilus window to small size
2.  create a folder with a very very long name
3.  Enter the folder just created


Actual results:
the icons in location bar disappeared

Expected results:
icon still exists, but remanent letters are replaced with "..."

Does this happen every time?
yes

how could we get the NautilusWindow which is the parent of the path_bar ? If we can have these window, we can basically evaluate if the future button will be too "big" or not
Comment 3 Allan Day 2010-05-27 22:36:34 UTC
Confirming. Long file names are wrapped in the path bar. The directory button also scrolls off to the left when the window size is reduced. I'll post a couple of screenshots.

Setting status to new.
