This is a real nusiance on my 12.10 64 bit plain vanilla instalation. It seems to set the filename column to accommodate the longest name (undesirable) and then the columns leap about when you click out of the window, or back in. It may be of 'low' importance according to the techies but it is a major cosmetic snafu when compared with other systems where the user experience matters.
I'm using Adwaita. Why not simply leave the column widths the way the user sets them? -- 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/1018718 Title: columns width redrawn by multiple events Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-themes” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Quantal i386 logged as gnome-classic when nautilus is opened, then the columns width is disturbed & redrawn if events like: - mouse click somewhere inside nautilus - opening a terminal - loading an other app like browser etc - nautilus window where the contents are larger than window, then it's seen simply with focus on/off/on, ect other users also have seen this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12058978&postcount=6 Compiz* has been purged but seems not related , and Ambiance theme is used on my side, but seems also not related with this problem.
