GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 605448
Click on short file name scrolls window right to accommodate long file name, preventing double-click
Last modified: 2011-03-21 15:02:32 UTC
In compact view, when the "All columns have the same width" option is disabled, if a directory contains files with very short and very long name, clicking on a short name file scrolls the window right and prevents double-click. See the original bug report on Ubuntu Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/479974 Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a directory and open it 2. Change directory view to compact view 3. Go to Edit -> Preferences and disable the "All columns have the same width" option 4. Create a first directory with a very short name (1 or 2 letters) 5. Create a second directory with name long enough to force scrollbars to appear 6. Click on the directory with the short name Expected behaviour - The directory with the short name is selected and visible in the window Actual behaviour - The view scrolls right and the directory with the short name (that has just been selected) is no longer visible and cannot be double-clicked
