Description Thomas J. Baker 2003-09-08 13:39:26 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20030701 Galeon/1.3.7

Description of problem:
When using the tree view in nautilus with the show files option enabled,
clicking on a known file type like a text file, displays the text file in the
main window for a second and the main window is refreshed back to the icon view
of the directory. Is this a bug or a feature? I would expect clicking on
anything in the tree view would be the same as clicking on the icon of the same
file in the main window.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus-2.3.90-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. disable show only folders in the nautilus preference
2. enable the side pane and tree view
3. click on a txt, jpg, or other nautilus displayable file.
    

Actual Results:  The file is displayed in the main window for a second and the
the window is refreshed and the icon view of the selected directory is displayed.

Expected Results:  The clicked file is displayed.

That's not expected.

Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2004-10-04 13:43:00 UTC
Repeated this with fc3t3. Even got a crash. We're not supposed to use
nautilus views for non-folders anymore, but this still seems to be a
problem.

Comment 3 Thomas J. Baker 2005-05-18 18:55:34 UTC
Clicking on a non folder item in fc4t3 nautilus treeview pops an error dialog
about it not being a folder.
