Bingo! After "nautilus -q" it appeared some message about some python-extension. I've found out the issue was related to an old "nautilus-terminal" python extension. Since the extension wasn't installed with apt or pip, i ran the following commands:
sudo rm -r /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nautilus_terminal* sudo rm -r /usr/local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/ (note that under "usr/local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/" there was only a nautilus-terminal file) The issue then ceased to exist. After that, I could go to dconf-edit and go to: "org > flozz > nautilus-terminal" and "erase the key" since no schema was available. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849987 Title: empty space when on list view and when back to icon view Status in Nautilus: New Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 19.10 Release: 19.10 nautilus: Installed: 1:3.34.1-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.34.1-1ubuntu1 Expected behavior: - (1) Open nautilus in list view OR (2) Open Nautilus in icon view and then switch to list view - List view occupies all the space between the top bar and the bottom. - Switch to icon view - Icon view occupies all the space between the top bar and the bottom. Actual Behavior - (1) Open nautilus in list view OR (2) Open Nautilus in icon view and then switch to list view - List view occupies approximately 55% of the space between the top bar and the bottom. Approximately 45% of the space between the top bar and the bottom is blank (the upmost part). - Switch to icon view - Icon view occupies approximately 55% of the space between the top bar and the bottom. Approximately 45% of the space between the top bar and the bottom is blank (the upmost part). Observations: - The side bar doesn't seem to affect the bug. - By Starting nautilus in icon view the bug doesn't occur. In this case it's only triggered when switching to list view. - There are only 2 known ways to revert the bug: (1) when on icon view, clicking on "Other Locations", and then back to any section. (2) by restarting nautilus. There is no known way to revert the bug in list view. I am on Ubuntu 19.10 64Bit Using Gnome and Gnome Shell 3.34.1-1ubuntu1.
