Nautilus forgets sidebar settings

[Tessa]

I've noticed this since maybe precise, but it's still present, so reporting it. Basically, nautilus always forgets if you've opened the sidebar with f9, and next time you open a nautilus window it's closed again. I use the sidebar tons, so while this is a minor cosmetic problem, it's also really annoying. ;)

Thank you for your bug report, can you describe exact steps to trigger the issue? Does it happen in a guest session? Here closing/open a nautilus view preserves the sidebar state as it should...

I can generate the inverse behaviour (sidebar is always on, nautilus doesn't keep it off if I turn it off, close a window, open a new one) with the latest ubuntu-gnome 13.10 live CD for amd64 (http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/file?info_hash=A%26M%1C%FA%D2%9C%BD%3A%D0%82%FE%9FV%2Bj%5Cr%94%AA).

So it may be something with gnome3 just persisting whatever behaviour is set and never remembering your new choices. I am using gnome-shell on the desktop where I'm seeing this behaviour.

This is definitely still a problem, so hopefully someone can at least confirm the bug independently with the gnome-ubuntu ISO in a VM.

I would like to confirm this: i have at least 3 computers with Ubuntu installed (13.10 64) - i do not know any way to close that sidebar forever, that is very annoying to me, since i don't use it, but it eats up a place on the screen, especially since two-panel was removed i'm trying to workaround this opening two half-screen nautilus instances and everytime i need to close that sidebar at least twice.
