*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1073913 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073913
Adding this here as Bug #1073913 was closed down because a fix is supposed to be in the update (3.6.3) but see below. My original workaround was to install 3.6.3 (on a fresh install of 12.04 - the package in synaptic is 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu2~ubuntu12.10.1). It was not a problem at first but I now find (after a recent update) that the problem affects this version as well. The resizing occurs in the following situations: - switching windows with the alt+tab - bringing the window up with the launcher - moving the window with the title bar - left clicking items in the list - using the global menu (home folder) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078942 Title: Nautilus strange behavior on list view Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If there are a lot of files in any folder in list view Nautilus behavior is very strange. I recoded a video, because it is hard to describe. FS is ext4 . It is very annoying and confusing. In 12.04 I don't have such problem. So it might be a regression. I have the latest updates.
