Does this mean it's fixed or someone just pushed the "ignore pesky users" button again? I see no new Nautilus updates since last week. Does this mean 14.10's version will be improved? The 14.04 examples in the attachment are a bit forced with non-sensitive data from my home machine, but when you

You may also want to try installing XFCE's Thunar which appears to have similar scrollbar behavior to old Nautilus. This will probably pull in a large bunch of XFCE dependencies but if you have the disk space that should be okay; then just add it to your dock as an alternative file browser. (If t

Resizing columns doesn't seem to be a problem for me with Nautilus 3.8.2 on 13.10 x86-64 as just released (for the Name and Size fields - Type and Modified are apparently 'wide enough' and not adjustable), but I'm experiencing something potentially related: Intermittently, the "Type" and "Modified

If this amateur UI nerd can throw into the fray... Part of the problem is the decision to make a switch to a full dialog from a pulldown menu. Presumably this is inspired by a desire for consistency with Windows. The irony is, within the various Gnome metaphors, what's needed is an inverse of
