Ubuntu
nautilus package

file manager only opens in max view (takes the whole screen).

Asked by Shawn Peterson

Binary package hint: nautilus

file manager only opens in max view (takes the whole screen). The collapse/resize/exit buttons at the top are hidden. There is no way to resize the file manager. Even if i click on the tab at the bottom, nothing happens. I am using ubuntu 8.10.

Well, it seems to have corrected itself, but i would still like to know what to do if it happens again.

You can move any window by just pressing Alt ant then draging it with mouse pointer.
