Thank you for your bug report. Eugenia: I cannot reproduce your problem. Please could you include the exact steps that reproduce the problem along with version information about nautilus.
e.g. Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to Places -> Home Folder. 2. In the window that appears go to View -> Show Hidden Files . 3. Notice that dotfiles have appeared. Close the window. 4. Go to Places -> Home Folder. Expected result: dotfiles to be visible. Actual result: dotfiles are visible(!) Additional information: My nautilus always opens directories in a new window (it is spacial). Version information: (as produced by dpkg -l nautilus | tr -s " " ) nautilus 2.18.0.1-0ubuntu1 -- "show hidden files" does not stick https://launchpad.net/bugs/92184 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
