list view doesn't expand subfolder when clicking on arrow if entry is selected

Thanks for your bug. Your description of the bug is not clear. Do you speak about the sidebar or nautilus in view mode? What version of Ubuntu do you use? Did you try to click on the arrow? You are supposed to click on it, not on the name to expand a line

OK, I will try to be more precise:

I am using Dapper, nautilus in spatial mode.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open any folder with some sub- and sub-subfolders in spatial mode
2) Make sure the mode is "list view" (or whatever the exact english equivalent of "Listenansicht" is).
3) in this view expand a folder by clicking on the arrow left to its name, result: you see the list of folders and files contained in it
4) out of this list select a folder by clicking on its name once
5) try to expand this folder while it is selected by clicking on the corresponding arrow. On my computer, this does not work.
6) deselect that folder by clicking somewhere else and try expanding again by clicking on the arrow: now it does work.

this is at least inconsistent and when using the list view on deep hierachies intensivly it gets annoying.

Hope this clarifies my problem

The description is clear and those steps work fine on my box. Marking as unconfirmed, does anybody else get that issue?

Works fine with me in Edgy (I use nautilus a lot, and haven't had any problems in Dapper either).

I can confirm this bug on the Feisty beta. It doesn't work most of the time, but sometimes it does. This only happens in list view (in either browser or spatial mode) but not in other trees (like the one in the browser view side pane).

One way of reliably triggering it is to select a subdirectory, and slowly slide your mouse towards the extender from the right until it highlights. The extender is now unresponsive to clicks, indicating a mismatch between the region where it highlights itself and where it responds to clicks.

However, very often it fails to respond even when clicked squarely on the arrow. Usually it'll start responding again after a lot of retries and moving the mouse around.

All this is seen only on selected entries. Other entries work perfectly every time.

This bug has already been reported upstream (with a more precise description of the problem) at [http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381022].

I can confirm that this bug still exists in Gusty beta.

Hi

This bug was before in Edgy & fixed , but it back in Gusty !!

Thanks

this is still a problem in ubuntu 8.10.
here is a way to reproduce it:

mkdir /tmp/example
cd /tmp/example
for i in `seq 10 99`; do echo $i ===; mkdir $i; done
nautilus .

Now search for one dir by typing: "33"
when trying to expand focused 33, it's the first dir, 10, that gets expanded

I can confirm this bug in intrepid as well.

Confirmed in Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04.

This is _extremely_ annoying if you want to navigate quitckly in your files. You found that folder by search that folder and you just cannot enter it; on click, everything moves down because the first directory is expanded.

I think this bug can be fixed easily by not expanding the old active column (no idea why this is the first one) but just that column we clicked the arrow in.

Confirmed in Ubuntu Desktop x86 9.10 Karmic. Any news on a fix?

Looks like I can't reproduce it in 11.04.

Does anyone still have this problem?

the issue has been fixed in the current versions of nautilus and Ubuntu, closing the bug
