Bug Description
[Impact]
If using Nautilus without a status bar the selected item title 'floats' at the bottom of the file listing.
If you choose the last file item in a list this 'floating' title prevents you seeing the actual title making editing difficult/
[Test Case]
Using Ubuntu 16.04.1 open the file manager, click "Home", enable list view and resize the file manager window so that the contents of the home directory just fit vertically and horizontally. Select the last item in the file listing and then move the mouse slowly from left to right and back again several time. You will see the floating status bar will jump from left to right, obscuring details of the selected item.
After the patched nautilus package is installed, performing the same test will result on the floating status bar being hidden when the mouse hovers over it.
[Regression Potential]
None. This patch has been adapted from the following upstream commit:
* https:/
Packages have been built in a PPA and tested for regressions.
[ Other Info ]
Binary package hint: nautilus
The following possible solutions were considered:
* Give the file list a bottom margin of the height of the status bar.
* Move status bar to the left side when working with files in that corner.
* Do not show status bar while renaming.
* Hide the floating bars when hovering over part of the selection.
