Bug Description
1st bug: created .hidden folders in the Desktop folder appears on The Desktop (Hide all windows and show the desktop) and stays visible even if deleted
2nd bug: deleting a just created .hidden folder while "show hidden files" is unchecked stays visible in the file manager until a refresh.
- Desktop folder : ~/Desktop
- The Desktop : Hide all windows and show the desktop
How to reproduce: (using nautilus)
- With or without view > show hidden files checked (does not matter)
1. Create a folder .testfolder in the Desktop folder
visible on The Desktop (1st bug)
2. delete this folder
- Although the folder does not appear in the file browser, it stays visible on The Desktop (1st bug)
- With view > show hidden files unchecked
Create a folder named .testfolder in any location and then delete it
- The folder stays visible in nautilus until a refresh (2nd bug)
Notes:
1. The above steps produce the same bug for created documents (right click > create document ..)
2. Using the rm/mv commands to delete or move the folder created from nautilus also requires a refresh to hide them in nautilus (the folder is replaced with a file of unknown type and undetermined permissions)
