Public bug reported: This is copy of my upstream bug report: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/1512
The issue will not be fixed because the upcoming version of nautilus has a changed pathbar design which prevents it. (See conversation on the gnome bug tracker). This bug looks also a lot like an old bug in launchpad on 13.04, could be the same issue. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1167710 ---------------------- Affected version Other: Ubuntu 20.04 with Nautilus 3.36.2-0ubuntu1 Nightly flatpak: No Steps to reproduce: Open Nautilus/Files open a nested folderpath structure untill the names of the path do not fit in the pathbar anymore Hover the mouse over the first or the last folder name visible in the path Current behaviour: The path bar starts flickering (probably alternating the display of the visible/not visible folders?(see attached screencast) Expected behaviour: No flickering, but moving the displayed path when ascending deeper in the folder structure. Additional information: 1) I have also tested if this depends on the number of folders or on the length of the folder name the issue is also triggered with a shallow path with only a few very long folder names and not with >10 2 letter wide folder names 2)I've tested both the Ubuntu Yaru theme and the gnome default Adwaita light them, it occurs in both so does not seem to be theme specific. 3) The issue seems to be fixed in the nightly build. ** Affects: nautilus Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "screencast" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1882377/+attachment/5381022/+files/nautilus_pathbar_behaviour_2020-06-02.mp4.webm ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues #1512 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/1512 ** Also affects: nautilus via https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/1512 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- 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/1882377 Title: path bar flickering when path is longer than the space in the header bar To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1882377/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
