Nautilus simultaneous views on same folder causes erratic behaviour with tabs
Last modified: 2008-10-18 14:44:01 UTC
Please describe the problem: Sometimes you may want to view a folder as a list view AND an icon view (etc...). This is fine under normal browser views with multiple windows, but will not work so well with the tabbed interface (in particular, folder scrolling but may affect other areas of browsing yet to be discovered). Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a folder with a lot of files and set view to "Icon View" 2. Middle click the folder again (on the breadcrumb bar) to open it in a different tab. 3. Notice that this new tab has no scrolling (no scroll bar and mouse scrolling no longer works). Now, in this new tab, change view to "List view" 4. In the old tab, notice now that the folder no longer scrolls also. Actual results: New and old tabs suffer scrolling problems. Expected results: Scrolling works. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: The view of a folder should be set to the view that was last set on any tab/window that had this folder open.
