It is possible to create a new tab on the desktop window with Ctrl + T

[Dylan McCall]

Steps to reproduce: From the Nautilus desktop, press Ctrl+T to create a new tab. The desktop window will turn into a popup with a Nautilus file view and none of the usual chrome, and two tabs at the top. The application seems to suffer horribly at this point.

so as you can see from all the duplicates and the pics in them, this bug breaks the desktop.

anyone can break their desktop with one click, so i think it should be higher than medium...

is it going to be disabled till upstream fixes it?

[Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)]

Fixed in Nautilus 1:3.2.0-0ubuntu3.

[Zolee (z-varga)]

'New Tab' menu item disappeared, but 'CTRL+T' still works and breaks the desktop.
(Nautilus 3.2.0)

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

The 'CTRL+T' shortcut still opens new tab and makes it very confusing (for newcomers). That's with Nautilus 1:3.2.0-0ubuntu5. It should be noted that this behaviour doesn't break the desktop, because you can close that new tab (just right click on it and you will see close tab option).

[Christophe Narbonne (christophe31)]

the unity menu is above, the time it appens to me I closed accidentally the desktop tab instead of the new one. (the desktop was more visible in the middle of the screen).

[malclocke (malc-wholemeal)]

There's a patch to fix this on the upstream bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655256)

[Matthieu Baerts (matttbe)]

I can confirm that this bug seems to be fixed with the version patched by Dmitry and available on the new branch linked to this bug report!
Thank you :)

PS: this version is currently waiting to build on my ppa if someone else want to test it.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for your work on there, you might want to subscribe ubuntu-sponsors there

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Hello Dylan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted nautilus into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Adolfo Jayme Barrientos (fitojb)]

I can confirm that the proposed version of nautilus no longer allows to use Ctrl+T in the desktop.

[Dylan McCall (dylanmccall)]

Same result here. Thanks, Martin :)

[Fedora (fedora-redhat-bugs)]

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
