nautilus showing files in list view: The last item in this folder is barely visible or accessible by mouse (144.88 KB, image/png)

Description Christian Stadelmann 2014-10-04 18:27:49 UTC 
When the last file or folder inside another folder has a long name it will get a tooltip printed as long as the file/folder's name. In list view with 50% zoom or less this tooltip will hide the selected file completely. In this case the user can't access the file by mouse once selected: Drag and drop, renaming, context menu won't work.

Workaround: increase zoom, use icon view, resize window (bigger)

This is a user experience issue.

For details see the attached screenshot. The last item in this folder is barely visible.
