Bug Description
Binary package hint: thunar
When a folder contains other folders with only numeric names and that the highest number is over 100, thunar does not keep the sorting order correctly.
Please test with:
#!/bin/bash
dir="foo"
for (( i = 1; i < 140; i++ )); do mkdir -p $dir/$i; done
thunar $dir
exit 0
the sorting order will be correct. Now go up the file tree and then back in the folder: the order is correct for 1 to 9 but then is garbled. It is not random though: the (incorrect) order is the same every time the folder is visited. Re-sorting by names will restore the correct order but it will still not stick.
This has been testing on 2 installations of xubuntu with the following characteristics:
$ lsb_release -rd
