Hi.

It is not possible to turn it off to "show hidden files". After closing and restarting nautilus you can see the hidden files again.
I can reproduce the issue ofc. If you need any further information let me know.

kind regards

JD

Thank you for your bug report. Is that specific to your user? How/where do you turn it off/on?

Yes it's specific for the first user which was created during the installation. Tried it with a new account and it does not show up.
I tried to turn it off twice. First the usual way with ctrl+h and then with the menue (down arrow) "show hidden files" and unchecked it. When I close and restart nautilus hidden files are visibile again. Of course the entry in the menue is also checked again.

(what's the value of "gsettings get org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser show-hidden" for you?)
