Comment 41 for bug 191871

Oops! The bug was marked as fixed? I didn't know that. I haven't checked on
that bug report for a long time. I'm sorry. I had a similar experience with
a feature that was not included in Nautilus (horizontal scrolling in compact
view), and they didn't pay much attention the first time I mentioned it. But
then, when I insisted, they worked on it. What if we open a new bug report
or something. There must be a way.
