Nautilus should always show free disk space

[Giovanni Figliozzi]

Hi, before the full description I want to specify that I experienced this bug on nautilus 2.22.5.1. I don't know if newer version has it too.

When I open a new Nautilus window, I can see in the status bar how much free space I have on that media.
After, when i select something in that directory, the free space is changed with the space occupied by the selected file(s), and it is not restored until there's nothing selected.
So I can't see togheter the free space on the device and the space occupied by the selected files, and i have to open another nautilus window or a terminal to see the free space.
There is also another problem: if I use the "list" view this little bug is still worse, because in the list view there is no space to click to unselect all the items.

I hope I can help
thanks

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

A workaround for list view where there's no clear space to click on, is to select all (Ctrl+A) then invert selection (Shift+Ctrl+I). Agreed that Nautilus should always show free disk space.

oh! that's great, but if a person need to leave the icons selected, no way... :)
