Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I have a comparatively long directory name, and an exceptionally long
filename.
1) I'm using ubuntu 9.10
2) Nautilus 2.28.1 (package version 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1) seems to go nuts when it
encounters the long filenames with lots of embedded spaces.
3) I expect to get a full list of Icons showing filenames.
4) What I get instead, is a partial list of the files with shorter names, and a
spinning 'busy cursor' that never goes away.
This happens whether I am in List View, Compact View, or Icon View. If I do a
stop/reload, nothing at all is displayed.
5) Workarounds:
I can pop into a shell, and list the files, and the text of the filename
renders properly.
When I rename a file in the shell window, Nautilus seems to pick it up, but it
still keeps the busy cursor on, and refuses
to display the other files. , but I shouldn't have to rename files
just so Nautilus will work.
Long directory example: ~/Pictures/Advertisements/Next50YearsHolland$
Long filename: Screenshot-Amazon.com\:\ The\ Next\ Fifty\ Years\:\
Science\ in\ the\ First\ Half\ of\ the\ Twenty-first\ Century\
\(9780375713422\)\:\ John\ Brockman\ TOC\ 1\ -\ Mozilla\ Firefox.png
I rename the long filename to "TOC1.png", and Nautilus displays it
properly.
The reason I'm filing the bug is that Nautilus shouldn't hang when it
encounters a challenging (long) filename.
