[Bug 797485] Re: Status Bar Covers File Name at Bottom

 

In May 2016 the corresponding gnome bug (#651293) will have it's fifth anniversary and is still status "NEW". I would not expect this to change soon and waiting for it does not contribute to Ubuntu bug #1 very well. They probably have other priorities.
When searching on Google for "ubuntu nemo instead of nautilus" I get 13400 results.
Maybe Nautilus' time as default file manager for Ubuntu should be over.

Title:
  Status Bar Covers File Name at Bottom

Status in Nautilus:
  Confirmed
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  In Nautilus when you have an even number of files on the bottom row it
  becomes difficult to rename the last file as the status bar covers the
  text area.

  I realize this is likely a rare occurrence, and can be gotten around
  by adjusting the width of the window, but it is a minor bug.

  Possible solutions:

  Move status bar to the left side when working with files in that
  corner.

  Do not show status bar while renaming.

  Best IMHO: Give the file area a bottom margin of the height of the
  status bar.

  
  Ubuntu 11.04, Gnome-Shell (Although it should just be nautilus in general.)
  nautilus: 1:3.0.2-0ubuntu2~natty1
