Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
I am using my GNOME desktop on my laptop with two different screen resolutions, depending on whether I'm using my external 1680x1050 VGA monitor or my 1280x800 laptop's display. When using the bigger resolution VGA monitor, if I locate desktop icons on places outside the laptop's lower resolution, these icons are not shown when switching back to my laptop's LCD display since they are "outside" it's display range. I believe this should not happen, so IMHO nautilus should be expected to detect icons located outside current display's resolution and still try to relocate them to a place I could find them in a "best effort" location strategy. I would also expect these relocation changes not be permanent and still get icons at my original location when going back to my greater display resolution. I'm running Hardy Heron beta with updated packages as of bug report timestamp, but I have been experiencing this issue in Gutsy before I upgraded. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Desktop icons not shown when switching to a lower screen resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210729 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
