Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

There is a cross button displayed on the top right corner of the sidebar.
I've seen many new ubuntu users who have accidentally closed the sidebar by clicking on this button.
To restore this sidebar you have to go in the "view" menu, find the option, and check it again.
The ubuntu beginners I know are not able to restore it.

Couldn't it be replaced by a switch button in the tool bar (to activate/deactivate it)?

I've quickly made a little mock-up.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

As discussed in the upstream bug report and on IRC, removing the close button should be enough. That's what I've done.

Upstream aim to fix this in the new design, so I won;t be working on this.
