[Bug 1441296] [NEW] Nautilus invisible focused item when selecting files with Ctrl and arrow keys

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrading to 15.04 beta2 I noticed that selecting files with Ctrl
and the arrow keys in Nautilus became more difficult since the active
item had no decorations. I'm sure before there was some sort of dashed
line around the active item's name, so this may be a regression.

I have searched for any other bug report on this, or any other person
complaining about it, without success. I tried using the guest account
to confirm it wasn't a previous configuration on my regular account, and
the issue is also present. Maybe it is uncommon for people to select
items in nautilus with the keyboard arrows?

I fixed it on my system for Ambiance by adding a dashed line decoration
to

/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps/nautilus.css

NautilusWindow * {
    -GtkPaned-handle-size: 1;
    outline-color: @selected_bg_color;
    outline-style: dashed;
    outline-width: 1px;
    outline-radius: 4px;
    outline-offset: -1px;
}

This may need to go in other selector properties, but it worked like
this and I couldn't make it to work on any other selector.
