I've built a package for vivid to test a crasher in the intel X driver, and looks like this update doesn't trigger that anymore. But I'm also still seeing corruption in bottom and right edge of the screen, maybe 2 pixels wide on this 3200x1800 screen..

just to avoid confusion, #5 doesn't mean that this update causes a crasher, on the contrary it seems to work around it at least on vivid

Hello Shih-Yuan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted nautilus into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.11 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
