Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: file-roller
File-roller 2.26.1 has a annoying, disturbing visual refresh issue that
can be reproduced while browsing into the directories included in the
archive you opened with file-roller.
To reproduce:
1. Open an archive using file-roller. The archive could be a .zip, a
.tar.gz or whatever, but it needs to have directories in it.
2. Browse across the directory structure, clicking in the directories
included in the archive to go into them, and going back using the file-
roller 'back' button.
Result: Sometimes, when you go into a directory clicking in its name,
file-roller does not display the directory's contents immediatly.
Instead, file-roller displays for a 0.5 second the same directory
listing as looked like before clicking, but removing the directory name
itself and all the items above the directory name.
It's hard to explain using words, so I've record a video capture. Look
what happens when I click in the "docs" directory: instead of display
the "docs" contents immediatly, file-roller displays the same contents
as before but removing the "docs" item itself and all of the above
("autopackage", "debian" and "desktop-icons" directories) for a 0.5
second, and then it goes into the "docs" directory as expected. The
issue can't be reproduced when I go into the "lang" or "skins"
directories, however.
This issue appears with many archives, not only the one used for the
video capture. Even more, the issue is not always reproducible: when you
go into "docs" directory, there could be a chance to not show the bad
behavior.
The problem can't be reproduced with file-roller 2.24.1-0ubuntu2
supplied with Intrepid (I've tested it), so a workaround could be to
install the file-roller_2.24.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb package replacing the
Jaunty's one.
