double-click doesn't open half-shown items

Thanks for your bug report. Which version of nautilus and Ubuntu do you use? In Edgy the "half shown" file is focussed and shown fully, when I double-click it - another double-click opens the file. Is that the issue you see yourself?

I'm using Nautils 2.14.1 on Dapper. And yes, that's the behavior I'm getting too: If I click or double-click a "half-shown" file, it gets fully shown. Only then can I launch it by double-clicking again.

I'm not sure if this behavior is a bug or a feature, but I at least find it rather annoying.

Confirmed, it scrolls on the first click then you can double click, I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347423

this has been fixed upstream, thanks for reporting.

This bug was fixed in the package nautilus - 1:2.23.5-0ubuntu1
