Thanks to the people fixing this bug, in the first place. However, I'm sorry to put it in this way but Blaster pointed out what is the real bug which caused this one. It is the strange policy in the Nautilus development. This might be fixed by changing the policy or changing the file manager in Ubuntu. Because otherwise, we must ask what will be next? Removal of Home (/home/user) from the side bar and leaving there only (My) Documents, (My) Music and (My) Pictures as it is on Mac OS and some (all?) MS Windows? Removal of possibility to show hidden (.*) files or removal of list view because everyone wants big thumbnail anyway, right? ...

I'm sorry to see developers spending their time reimplementing, debugging and fixing features which already had working implementations and were removed just few months before. I'm concerned that this state is not sustainable.
