Weird Thunar behavior [XFCE]

MGu3l · 2015-06-27 05:47:41

I'm facing a weird behavior on my thunar look and the way folders appears on it. It's not big deal but I feel like having an OCD and each time this happen I go crazy!!

So this first picture is the way my /home folder looks when I open Thunar:

Then I press 'ctrl+H' twice and it look like this:

Anybody knows why this is happening? or what can I do to keep Thunar as the second picture shows?

As far as I know that always has happened.
- Workaround: press F5
-Proper solution: file a bug report.

Yeah, I'm afraid Thunar's behaved like that for years. No idea why.

That's really weird, but well... I thought it was some kind of particular bug happening just to me. Thx for your help!

Resizing the window to make it slightly bigger solves this issue for me

This might not be useful knowledge but the spacing between icons in Thunar seems to depend on the length of the file names in a directory. If I display hidden files in my home dir, I'll see files like ".xfce4-session.verbose-log", whose names are longer than the common user dir names. Hiding the files again will not cause Thunar to rearrange the view.

You are right Eishorn, I placed a picture with a really long name within my home folder and all the space between folders changed. Kind of weird but well, guess i'll get used to it.
