[Bug 1277180] Re: dotted rectangles remain drawn in window after copying a bunch of files

 

Almost a year and no response from anybody??

This happens quite often (though not systematically) and it's terribly
annoying.

** Description changed:

  I copyed a bunch of files from a Nautilus window into another by
  Ctrl+dragging and dropping them. Both windows were set with icons
  visualization, so when I (ctrl)dragged and dropped the icons, dotted
  rectangles were drawn and dragged, as expected.
  
  However, after dropping the files, which were succesfully copied, the
  dotted rectangles should have disappeared, but they remained, as if
  printed on the destination window. Neither by moving, nor by minimizing
  and remaximizing the window, could I get rid of the spurious dotted
  rectangles. Even while navigating to other folders, the dotted
  rectangles stay there. Even after resizing the window. Despite the
  contents of the window being redrawn and updated, the dotted rectangles
  are still there, and they move around while I move around the window, as
  if they were part of its contents.
  
  The only way to have them disappear is to completely close the window.
  
- Obviously this is not systematically reproducible. This doesn't happen
- often. Don't expect to be able to reproduce it by ctrl+dragging icons
- from a window to another. 99.99% of the times this won't happen.
+ Obviously this is not systematically reproducible.
