Hi there. Sorry I didn't put those in the first time around... I have been playing around with this a bit more to try to come up with a 100% way of doing this. I've discovered the following generally exhibits the behaviour I'm talking about. Please note: I have mouse focus turned on.
1. Create a bunch of files and folders. Here is a quick one-liner bash script to do this easily: seq 1 5 | while read seqnce; do touch "file$seqnce"; mkdir "folder$seqnce"; done 2. Select the last file in the display (file5 if using the script I pasted above) 3. Delete this file using the delete key. Usually it will delete, sometimes it won't 4. Hit the down arrow on the keyboard to select the last file in the list again (this only works 100% when using the down arrow... sometimes it works when using the right arrow as well) 5. Attempt to delete the selected file ONCE. On my setup, the file is not deleted almost every time (almost... as in 4 / 5 times). Hitting delete a second time will remove the file. I have been experiencing this with mouse selection as well under various circumstances, but can't find a reliable way to reproduce it. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: nautilus The delete key does not appear to function in nautilus. As far as I can tell there are no other shortcut keys for deleting files... + == Updated to include reproduction steps == + + 1. Create a bunch of files and folders.
