** Description changed: - affects ubuntu/nautilus + Steps to reproduce: + Browse nautilus + Find a file you wish to open + Double click the file to open it + Observe no changes in the cursor on screen + + What is expected to happen: + The cursor should change to the spinning icon to indicate that the file is opening + + + affects ubuntu/nautilus After double-clicking on a document/image/video file, there is no feedback that the application is actually starting, until its window finally appears. In the previous release of Ubuntu, Nautilus had changed the cursor to the busy/waiting cursor until the application appears. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin ** Description changed: Steps to reproduce: Browse nautilus Find a file you wish to open Double click the file to open it Observe no changes in the cursor on screen What is expected to happen: - The cursor should change to the spinning icon to indicate that the file is opening + The cursor should change to the spinning cursor to indicate that the file is opening affects ubuntu/nautilus After double-clicking on a document/image/video file, there is no feedback that the application is actually starting, until its window finally appears.
