Created attachment 373512 [details] Nautilus black background Every so often when I open a new Nautilus window the background will be green or black. They should all be white. Reloading the window doesn't help, it has to be closed and opened again to get it back to normal. I'm running F12 with all the latest updates as of 2009-11-24. The nautilus package is nautilus-2.28.1-4.fc12.x86_64. I've attached a couple of screenshots.

I have the same problem. About 3 out of 10 trials (opening en closing a Nautilus window) gives the wrong background colour. I have a fully updated (as of 30-nov) 64-bit Fedora 12 installation. I'm using a ATI 3450 graphics card with the radion driver.
I forgot to mention that I'm also using the radeon driver, with a ATI Radeon HD 2350 PCI-E card.

Since a few weeks the problem has disappeared. I assume that one of the regular updates took care of the problem.
I just started experiencing something like this problem recently. I have my background_set gconf key to on and the background_color to black (#000000), nautilus doesn't color the background on start up... it paints white in my case. ctl-t does color the new tab background black, but middle-clicking a folder opens that in a new tab with the wrong color. I'm assuming this is the same bug, but I could be wrong; I can open a different bug if so. I also have an ATI Radeon: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV770 [Radeon HD 4850] Subsystem: PC Partner Limited Device e104 Kernel driver in use: radeon Kernel modules: radeon nautilus-2.28.4-1.fc12.x86_64 kernel-2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64 kernel-2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64 kernel-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.1-7.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-0.11.20091119git437113124.fc12.x86_64 The comments make this bug seem like a radeon driver problem?
Background window pane color is scrambled again. This time it is limited to the middle of the top bar menu which is set autohide and mostly transparent. See attached screen shot capture.

I've not seen this problem in a while now either. Unless someone else is still seeing the problem it should probably be closed. Any objections?
My comment that was entered on 1-14-2010 is still true. Background color is still scrambled using but it is limited to just the FE menu bar (located at the top for me) between "system" menu and the "sound" icon. Still needs to be fixed as this is very annoying and makes most of the menu bar unusable. This bug only appears on FE-12 X32_64 and not FE-12 X32. Also, my menu is confugured for auto hide and the graphics card is an ATI Radeon.
My comment on 2010-01-07 is also still true and is also just as annoying as on startup you can't read the filenames in the main nautilus window. I'm on x86_64, but no idea if it's "ok" in 32bit.
"set as background for all folders" by dragging (using right mouse button) and dropping in nautilus window has random affects, such as sometimes will change the background pattern (but this does not "keep" when closing and then reopening). Both /apps/nautilus/preferences/background_filename and /apps/nautilus/preferences/background_set keys are set. kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP nautilus-2.28.4-1.fc12.x86_64 nvidia drivers 190.53-1.fc12.5.x86_64
The display problems that I reported in comment #7 have now been fixed. Can others who experienced similar problems recheck after installing new RPMs and report their findings? kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64 nautilus-2.28.4-2.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-0.21.20100219gite68d3a389.fc12.x86_64

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
