spatial nautilus doesn't save scroll position

Thanks for your bug. Do you use the spatial or the browser mode. Is that new
from this update? Does that happen on all the folder? Do you use the icon or the
list mode? That works fine for me with the icon/spatial mode.

I use spatial+icons mode. Happens in all folders, yes. The bug must have been
introduced in 2.13.2 as 2.13.1 works flawlessly.

on my i386 laptop it works fine

now it works fine on my desktop too. Strange but good :) Marking as FIXED.

sorry, should have rushed this one. On folders containing only images it still
doesn't work.

could you provide screenshots to describe what happen exactly? does that happen
only with on folder or with different image folders?

I almost went mad this morning as I tested it again and nothing happened. Until
I resized the window, then the bug reappeared. Here are the requested screenshots:

The number of images in a row certainly has an effect on this but I can't find a
logial way nautilus acts to describe the bug better.

I still don't understand. Please tell me, where I go wrong. You open a folder.
Scroll down some 'lines'. Close it. Open it again. Find that the newly opened
folder is in the 'top line'. Is that the problem? You'd expect it to save the
last position?

No. Just take a look at the screenshots. Thats what happens when simply closing
and opening the folder again over and over again. Spatial nautilus as I knew it
normally saves the scroll position. And it does so, only at some widths it
scrolls up.

Do you still have that issue with the new packages (dapper)?

yes, it still happens.

do you use the compact mode? Does is happen without it?

yes, I'm using compact mode. And it happens without it too.

you can even press CTRL+R and see nautilus scrolling up

another observation: When scrolling down to the bottom and afterwards often pressing CTRL+R really fast the scrollbar suddenly is at the top :)

I've forwarded your issue upstream. It works fine for me but maybe they will have some issue on that: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331697

Here's what seems to be happening:

Nautilus tries to put line up the top line of icons with the top of the
window, so that there's no partial icons when you refresh. But it
seems that sometimes it gets confused about icon heights.

Note, however, that hitting Control-R twice in rapid succession is
supposed to bring the scrollbar to the top. That's a feature.

It happens on my box too after playing with the dimensions of the window

closing the bug, spatial mode got dropped in GNOME3 which is used since oneiric
