Simple left-click on the window title, or even losing window focus is enough to trigger this "column resizing".

What happens is that if you have a large folder, upon a window redraw (with alt-tab for example), the column width for 'Name' is set to a small value, and then increases when a larger file name is found. This produces a weird effect with the columns changing sizes multiple times - not particularly nice, and I believe will be much more problematic on very large folders. Isn't there some way of caching the previously computed value on this same folder and only refreshing it once, thus making it invisible to the user? Running updated Ubuntu 12.10 64 bits, nautilus package version 1:3.5.90.really.3.4.2-0ubuntu4 I witnessed this in a folder containing only 71 files. There was a file with a considerably longer file name at the end of the folder (e.g. twice as long, 31 characters vs 15 characters in the first files) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1066395/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
