Hello,
as of Gnome 3.14 one of the many problems I had to solve is that the Nautilus File Manager doesn't allow to snap windows to the left or right size of the screen. It is no longer possible to have a split screen view with two nautilus windows. Only maximize to full screen is working.
I tried to isolate the problem, but all I found is that obviously the minimal window width Nautilus allows for it's windows is more than half of the screen (I have a 1366 x 768 screen).
What's happening? Is this a bug I should report? Or am I just left behind because I don't own a HD display laptop?
As a side question: Would it be basically possible in Arch to say stick with Gnome 3.12 and the corresponding Gnome application for a long time but keeping the rest of the system up-to-date? Or should I switch to a more tested distribution if I can't afford to deal with this kind of problems?
Thanks for your help,
erik

Answering myself: Obviously the toolbar of nautilus 3.14 got to many items and the window manager mutter won't shrink the window to less than the minimum width reported by the window. This means, that on laptops like the ThinkPad X230 with its 1366 pixel wide screen it is no longer possible to have two nautilus windows next to each other.
If you want to switch to nemo, here are the necessary steps:
pacman -R nautilus
pacman -Ss nemo
xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false
gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons trueOffline
