adding /home to bookmarks in nautilus bug

Thank you for your bug. That works correctly on my gutsy installation, what version of Ubuntu do you use? Could you attach your .gtk-bookmarks to the bug

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm using gutsy.

I deleted the "/home/username/file:" directory and everything is fine now. I don't know what created that "file:" directory, I didn't.

Then I recreated the "/home/username/file:/home" directory and clicking on Places->home drives me back to "/home/username/file:/home". So it's broken again.

I searched for .gtk-bookmarks but I couldn't find it. Could tell me where is it if it's still interesting.

The .gtk-bookmarks is the file listing your bookmark, that's where the entry should be added. Where did you have the "/home/username/file:/home" directory listed?

Ok, I've found the .gtk-bookmarks, I'm attaching it.

I don't have "/home/username/file:/home" listed in .gtk-bookmarks. I have "file:///home" listed in it.

Did you try to bookmark your /home directory (not /home/username) and then create "/home/username/file:/home" and then click on places->home?
As I mentioned earlier if you click on a nautilus windows navigation menu on the left side there is no bug.

How do you create this broken directory name? Do you use some software or type it manually somewhere (in which case that would not be a bug but an user configuration issue)?

You mean you can't create a directory called 'file:' ?
I simply do right click -> create folder.

creating a directory works but what does it had to do with the bug description?

I thought i'd made this clear. If "/home/username/file:/home" exists than the "file:///home" bookmark drives you to "/home/username/file:/home" instead of "/home".

I tried this bug on another system, I got the same result. Same bug occurred. I think this bug should be set as confirmed.

The result of clicking on a bookmark depends on the existence of an unrelated directory.

I cannot reproduce the problem with a Gutsy and Hardy installations, if this still an issue? did you try to recreate it with a new user ?

I tried it with another user, bug still occurs.
I created a 10 seconds video to demonstrate it, maybe my explanation is just not good enough.
I have Hungarian ubuntu, but i think it's easy to follow what I'm doing.
First I click on Places->home which takes me to /home/krychek/file:/home, then i delete /home/krychek/file: , then I click on Places->home again and it takes me to /home .

Try to do it the same way I do it and see if you can reproduce the bug.

I forgot to mention that first you have to create /home/username/file:/home before you try this.
For some reason this directory gets created for me on its own from time to time..

I've created the file and if i go to file:///home it leads me to "/home" which is ok, feel free to re open this bug if you can recreate this bug with latest nautilus available on Hardy and with a new user created on your system, thanks.

Pedro: It's not a file, it's a directory. Maybe i should have written /home/username/file:/home/ to make it more clear.
Please try again exactly as I show it in the video. I can't believe that no one can confirm this bug.
I'll try it with Hardy Alpha 4, it's coming out shortly.

Same issue with a directory, it works pretty fine. Please post your experience with Hardy, thanks.

Bug still occurs in Hardy Alpha 4 Live CD.
Pedro, you're not following my instructions correctly.

could you describe easy steps to trigger the issue?

How many times do I how to explain this?

1: Create a bookmark to "/home/" (file:///home, NOT file:///home/your_user_name)
2: Create a directory "/home/your_user_name/file:/home/"
3: Click on places -> home (which is your newly created bookmark) DO NOT click on bookmarks -> home in an open nautilus window cuz bug won't occur.

It doesn't take you to "/home/" BUT it takes you to "/home/your_user_name/file:/home/"

Please someone confirm this bug!

How do you create the directory? What filesystem do you use? Nautilus refuses to create a such directory since using a slash in the name is not legal

Watching the video makes it clearer, the bug doesn't occur on my installation though

Bug doesn't occur in Hardy Alpha 5. I guess it has been fixed. Too bad no one could confirm this bug for me..
