Reopen issue 1666681

[teo1978]

Issue 1666681 needs to be reopened and fixed.

Just see the latest comments.

For fuck's sake.

That issue has made Ubuntu completely unusable to the point that I have stopped upgrading since Ubuntu 16.04.

Ubuntu should also consider dropping Nautilus altogether, because the existence of this issue (which is a design decision that the upstream developers defend) demonstrates that it's maintained by a bunch of idiots.

Either you fork from it or you pick a decent file manager that is not spiraling into complete dementia.

Anyway, in the shorter term, it seems that there are working patches available to mitigate this disgrace.

Thank you for your bug report. To maintain a respectful atmosphere, please follow the code of conduct - http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/conduct. Bug reports are handled by humans, the majority of whom are volunteers, so please bear this in mind.

Ok, however, that's not a reason for marking this as "opinion".

The issue had already been addressed so there's no question that the behavior is wrong and has to be fixed. That debate has been settled ages ago.

Also the importance shouldn't be "whichlist". This makes Nautilus unusable.

sorry but I'm not going to deal with bugs not respecting the code of conducts, also that bug is a duplicate as you knew when opening it, the fact that the issue has been wontfixed is not a reason to create extra work for others by registered a new ticket

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

you also made your opinion clear on the other bug, the place to argue/contribute to that discussion is upstream, the Ubuntu team doesn't have the resources nor plan to invest engineering going against upstream choices there

I can't reopen that one and comments seem to be ignored, that's why I created a new one.

What you should do then is mark this one as duplicate and reopen the original one.

Anyway, who cares, Ubuntu is beyond help.
