Public bug reported: I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with GNOME Shell. Nautilus does not want to occupy 50% (left or right) of the screen sized at 1366x768.
See screencast - https://i.stack.imgur.com/ainWP.gif . Other applications (such as GNOME Terminal, Eye of GNOME, Gedit) are normally snapping to the left/right half of the screen. But Nautilus can be resized to the width lower than half of screen (I can get 650 px, which is smaller than 1366/2 = 683 px). The first usable screen resolution seems to be 1400x1050, then goes 1440x900. But large amount of [current devices](http://gs.statcounter.com/screen-resolution- stats/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-201709-201809-bar) are still using 1366x768. Notes: 1. first seen on AskUbuntu ( https://askubuntu.com/q/1088630/66509 ) 2. disabling SideBar helps (by <F9> or `gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.window-state start-with-sidebar false` ), but it is hack and loss of usubility.
