True, that's one long-standing bug that would certainly count against it becoming the default, I think. This is another instance where it would be nice to be able to distribute an instrumented version of nautilus to users during development cycles, which could report back (with their permission, of course) which view they were using most of the time, amongst other things. (Although in reality, people probably use different views for different types of folder, so in this case the raw data might not be all that useful on its own.)
