Yes, this bug is reproducible on Feisty. I modified the description to include more details.
** Summary changed: - After hiding a directory and deleting it afterwards it stays in nautilus visible + created .hidden folders/files stays visible after being moved/deleted ** Description changed: - If you create a directory with nautilus and hide it afterwards it does - not disapear till refresh (I don't think that is a bug, but has changed - from prev. versions). If you delete the "going-to-be" hided directory - afterwards it is moved to trash, but you can still see it in the - directory until refresh. - Using version: 2.13.3-0ubuntu5 from dapper. + 1st bug: created .hidden folders in the Desktop folder appears on The Desktop (Hide all windows and show the desktop) and stays visible even if deleted + 2nd bug: deleting a just created .hidden folder while "show hidden files" is unchecked stays visible in the file manager until a refresh. + + - Desktop folder : ~/Desktop + - The Desktop : Hide all windows and show the desktop + + How to reproduce: (using nautilus) + - With or without view > show hidden files checked (does not matter) + 1. Create a folder .testfolder in the Desktop folder + visible on The Desktop (1st bug) + 2. delete this folder + - Although the folder does not appear in the file browser, it stays visible on The Desktop (1st bug) + + - With view > show hidden files unchecked + Create a folder named .testfolder in any location and then delete it + - The folder stays visible in nautilus until a refresh (2nd bug) + + Notes: + 1. The above steps produce the same bug for created documents (right click > create document ..) + 2. Using the rm/mv commands to delete or move the folder created from nautilus also requires a refresh to hide them in nautilus (the folder is replaced with a file of unknown type and undetermined permissions) + + Version information: + Ubuntu Feisty + original reported on dapper by georg and KarlGoetz ** Tags added: desktop -- created .hidden folders/files stays visible after being moved/deleted https://launchpad.net/bugs/28429 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
