Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

When right clicking on the desktop in Gutsy 2.19.91 has a problem where again right clicking on the desktop or anywhere and only maybe once or twice does it work but other times it will not - I'm talking about create empty file, two ways found to workaround this bug..

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=550149

all info. found there but the two ways was mine

Left click on the white box next to Create Document and the Small icon next to empty file afterwards without exiting the menu

the other was to

Right click on the word Empty file

both work to create what the desired action was suppose to be.

oh didn't see that one :) thanks but the invalid part would of been better at duplicate - as invalid means it doesn't exist which it does. and oh wow on the nautilus team - well i do have sound that sucks and sounds bad.. However that's for another team, and some others, i see if any are reported yet or not later on..

all updates and by the way this is not a duplicate - i said empty file - as they said right click and open with gimp doesn't work - it works fine for me just that and double clicking a text file doesn't ask to open or display, etc.. i have to right click.. so when do all updates get applied upstream a week later - ??

n/m read "Fix committed" means that the next time they (GTK) make a release, the new code will be in their source packages. We'll package them up and release them for Ubuntu. from another person who posted on a bug and said gtk is at 2.11 which I have. :) i'm still new at this stuff - bug reporting..
