I have to say that the problem persist on Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak. By other hand, How we can only put a orange line below the file that has the focus?. I say that because in Antergos with KDE plasma 5.8, " Dolphin" (File manager) has something similar and I like that.

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.
