"ls -x" or "ls --format=across" produces a garbled listing. To reproduce, create a directory with the files a_file, b_file, ... i_file. ls produces: a_file b_file c_file d_file e_file f_file g_file h_file i_file ls -x produces: e_file b_file c_file d_file e_file f_file g_file h_file i_file Notice that a_file is missing and e_file appears twice. This problem was not in FC6 and is brand new with F7.
