[Bug 2066062] Re: Impossible to select item using keyboard if folder has only one item

 

Hi Sebastien,

This bug has been around for quite some time and it doesn’t look like it
will be resolved upstream. I’d like to prepare a patch based on the
following merge request:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/6354

Could you please let me know the appropriate person or place to submit
this patch so it can be included in Ubuntu 24.04?

Title:
  Impossible to select item using keyboard if folder has only one item

Status in Nautilus:
  Fix Released
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If folder opened in Nautilus contains only one item (file or folder),
  it is impossible to select such item using a keyboard (arrow keys,
  without using mouse pointer). This is caused by a GTK4 bug, however I
  am reporting this as a Nautilus issue since it as far as I know
  affects only or mostly Nautilus.

  This is a big problem for visually impaired users. Please, consider
  backporting the upstream patch into Ubuntu 24.04 once it gets merged.

  Here is an upstream ticket and the mentioned fix:
