There was a similar bug report upstream -- GNOME bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=533153 -- and I've extended this bug report to cover the whole issue reported upstream.
This bug can be marked as Triaged now since it's ready for the developers to look at and it has been fully triaged. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #533153 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=533153 ** Changed in: nautilus Importance: Undecided => Unknown ** Changed in: nautilus Status: New => Unknown ** Changed in: nautilus Remote watch: None => GNOME Bug Tracker #533153 ** Summary changed: - audio preview begins immediately after system boot + Nautilus audio preview should be triggered more conservatively ** Description changed: Binary package hint: nautilus - the audio preview feature in nautilus starts automatically if there is - an audio file in the exact spot the mouse rests when the system is - booted. + When you close a window, switch windows using a method that doesn't + involve the mouse, or have just logged in, your mouse pointer may end up + on top of a music file. The audio preview functionality of Nautilus + immediately starts to play the song, even though it was not your + attention. - expected behaviour: audio preview should not begin till the mouse has - been manually hovered over an audio file. - - to reproduce this you may need to set gnome to log in automatically - - you will also need an audio file to be placed in the middle of the - screen, where the mouse defaults. in this instance, the file name of my - audio file was very long, the pointer rested over the filename at boot - up, which then began to play. - - regards + The audio preview should only be triggered when the mouse pointer moves + from the canvas surrounding the icon to a location on top of the icon. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- Nautilus audio preview should be triggered more conservatively https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567209 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
