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.

Comment 2 Geert Warrink 2009-11-30 12:30:30 UTC
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.

Comment 3 Philip Heron 2009-11-30 21:05:08 UTC
I forgot to mention that I'm also using the radeon driver, with a ATI Radeon HD 2350 PCI-E card.

*** Bug 545664 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 5 Geert Warrink 2010-01-07 18:17:13 UTC
Since a few weeks the problem has disappeared. I assume that one of the regular updates took care of the problem.

Comment 6 Zing 2010-01-07 22:50:29 UTC
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:

The comments make this bug seem like a radeon driver problem?

Comment 7 Paul Lambert 2010-01-14 20:35:46 UTC
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 have a ATI Radeon graphic card.

background color scramble using ATI

Comment 9 Philip Heron 2010-02-03 19:06:48 UTC
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?

Comment 10 Paul Lambert 2010-02-03 19:47:12 UTC
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.

Comment 11 Zing 2010-02-03 23:56:46 UTC
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.

Comment 12 Mustafa Mehmed 2010-03-06 12:09:15 UTC
"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.

Comment 13 Paul Lambert 2010-03-10 03:11:19 UTC
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?

Comment 15 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 05:28:52 UTC
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

Comment 16 Bug Zapper 2010-12-04 02:50:22 UTC
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.
