Bug description

This will be a very,very special bug to hunt down :)

ok, if i use nemo and open a specific directory for the first time of the running desktop session,
it does not open at position 0 of the filelist (known as top), it opens it always on one specific file
in the list, which is about 15% scrolled down from the top.

This happen ONLY on one directory, all others open normally andit does not make a difference if other directories have been opened with nemo before.

Once that dir got opened, all other openings of that folder work as expected.

As if some old cache tells nemo to have remembered that specific position in that folder list.

I greped thru all .??* files for the name of the folder and found nothing related, except:

a)

The folder is accessed via a shortlink in the "my computer" part, like "documents" is.

.config/dconf/user contains an entry, but it's not findable via dconf-editor

b)

.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks

contains it too, but nothing special about it.

"file:///m..../Audio Audio"

Steps to reproduce

opening a specific folder.

Expected behavior

item list at top position as in any other folder.

• How are you launching nemo? Directly into that folder? (nemo ~/foo) or launching like normal to the Home directory, then navigating to this other?
• A file doesn't get selected automatically when nemo is launched, or when a folder is entered - do you mean actual scrollbar is our of position when you enter the folder?

The only time this should happen is if you launch nemo with a file argument (not folder). When you do this it opens the file's parent location, then selects the file, scrolling if necessary to make sure it's visible.

a) via a keyboard shortcut SUPER+E

b) the scrollbar is positioned according to the position in the listing of what we can see. it's app. scrolled 15% of max down. I'm pretty sure, the actual amount is not so important.

[Cyborgscode]

the sortorder of that directory is by reverse date (newest on top)

[mtwebster]

So this shortcut opens directly into the folder, and selects a file some ways down the list? You're sure the actual shortcut command opens a folder and not a file?

[Cyborgscode]

SUPER+E has not been altered,it's the default and opens $HOME.

Edit: From there i click the audio entry from gtk-3.0/bookmarks which you can see here and above (path partly removed):

"file:///m..../Audio Audio"

it referes to a directory, not a file.
