compact mode works for all folders except home

[®om]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I enabled "compact mode" in nautilus preferences, it works for all folders, except /home/rom.

I have no idea why…

Thank you for your bug report, not confirming the issue there, how do you change the view setting?

[Thomas E Jenkins (thomas-jenkins)]

I can confirm this behaviour in nautilus 2.28.1-0ubuntu1. The view setting was changed by going to Edit->Preferences in a nautilus window and in the Views tab selecting "Use compact layout".

I am seeing this bug, too. Home folder does not respond to compact layout or icon resizing via menu. Resizing by Ctrl-scroll wheel works in all windows. However, sub-folders seem to be behaving correctly via menu setting (compact view and icon size). Setting changed in nautilus as above. Using a system upgraded to 9.10

The behaviour is very inconsistent, for some folders, whatever the compact mode is enabled or not, they are in compact mode. For some other, whatever it is enabled or not, they are in normal mode…

The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

I can resolve the problem with right-click > rearrange > and setting specific value for "use compact mode" (for the current directory).

I don't know how to remove this specific settings (and where it is stored), to make it use the default.

Thank you for sending the bug to GNOME

the issue is "fixed" in 3.5.4 (upstream dropped compact mode)
