re: my #38 above: Those screenshots accidentally expose another funny behavior - yes, when the yellow 'tip' appears at the bottom of the window it does at least tell you about the individual file that's been highlighted.
Apparently in the contrived case of a window that small (felt like fitting both in one png and not sharing the labels of my external drives) it doesn't fully appear, different bug. But at normal window heights that part does work if you feel like individually examining each one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1243806 Title: The names column has its width dictated by other columns To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1243806/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
