You have been subscribed to a public bug: After upgrading to 15.04 beta2 I noticed that selecting files with Ctrl and the arrow keys in Nautilus became more difficult since the active item had no decorations. I'm sure before there was some sort of dashed line around the active item's name, so this may be a regression.
I have searched for any other bug report on this, or any other person complaining about it, without success. I tried using the guest account to confirm it wasn't a previous configuration on my regular account, and the issue is also present. Maybe it is uncommon for people to select items in nautilus with the keyboard arrows? I fixed it on my system for Ambiance by adding a dashed line decoration to /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps/nautilus.css NautilusWindow * { -GtkPaned-handle-size: 1; outline-color: @selected_bg_color; outline-style: dashed; outline-width: 1px; outline-radius: 4px; outline-offset: -1px; } This may need to go in other selector properties, but it worked like this and I couldn't make it to work on any other selector. ** Affects: ubuntu-themes Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: ubuntu-themes (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Confirmed ** Tags: xenial yakkety -- Nautilus invisible focused item when selecting files with Ctrl and arrow keys https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1441296 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-themes in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
