nautilus information sidebar right-aligns text when background in use

[Cory Maccarrone]

When using nautilus in browser mode with the "Information" sidebar open, the current folder's icon displays in the middle, with information about it centered underneath in the default configuration. When a background image or color is added, the text underneath the icon shifts to the right, with the folder title a bit to the left of the details underneath, none of it centered together. If the text doesn't shift immediately after it's applied, restarting Nautilus will show the problem.

To correct, right-click on the panel and click "Use default background", and restart nautilus. The text centers once again.

I confirm this (see attached screenshot)

It is possible to reproduce the problem also by dragging a new background and then resetting to the default one. To restore the alignment
hiding and re-showing the sidebar is sufficient.

Confirmed, to send on the GNOME bugzilla

Sent it upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=512853

I can confirm this exists with Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid). Plus the information sidebar is the only sidebar that will display a background color except white.

This appears to be fixed for me in the latest Jaunty packages.

[Tiede (marcarthur)]

I'm sorry Corry Maccarrone, but have you modified anything in Nautilus to get that to work?
I have upgraded to Jaunty recently, and my system is fairly standard. However, the issue is still present.
Are you sure the background you're using is not the default one? If it is, the problem does not appear...
The misalignment only happens when the sidepane's background is user-modified.

The attachment is from Jaunty. With all the updates applied.

[Cory Maccarrone (darkstar6262)]

I take it back -- now that I try again, it's indeed not fixed. I've attached a screenshot. I'm on the latest Jaunty (as of this writing).

I haven't made any modifications to my Nautilus...not sure why it was working before.
