When holding my cursor still over a folder in the visualization (in either mode) I expect the name and size of the folder to appear in a floating box, as well as the names the folders contained in it.
In my brand new install of Ubuntu 18.04, however, this does not happen most of the time. When holding my cursor over a folder, it «lights up» as usual, but after a second or two, it gets darker again, and nothing appears.
However, it sometimes does work for certain folders. Based on a small amount of testing, those folders seem to be close to 8 or 9 o'clock when using the pie chart mode, and mostly only folders at the bottom of the hierarchy. I can then move the cursor within the visualization and see the names of all the folders as usual. But if the cursor is outside any folder for some small amount of time, I have to «activate» it again by holding the cursor over a working folder again.
The behavior is quite strange and unpredictable, and I have no idea what is causing it or what to do about it. But I thought I would report it here as it makes it very difficult for me to use this application. I am happy to answer any questions.
