Yeah, I'd rather they fixed scrolling in large lists, which makes Nautilus almost unusable in directories with more than 500 items. So much for "scalable".

And, ironically, touch support is currently broken, too.

Hmm. I just opened a thumbnail view of a directory of 770 PDFs (with thumbnails disabled for now due to a HiDPI bug[1]) in Nautilus (GNOME Files) 43.0, and while the scrolling is a tad janky it basically works. I do dislike how long it takes to load that folder at first, yes, but I don’t think I understand your complaint here.

There's a video in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2689, but it doesn't show the problem that clearly. Try to go to /dev/char, scroll down, then scroll back up using the wheel.

agreed! not to take away from the win here for the filepicker -- thank you :)

but since fedora 37 scrolling is totally busted... think it only occurs on x (which i use over wayland for a dozen reasons). its pretty brutal tbh, scrolling is kind of... fundamental.


No, the bug I'm referring to also happens on Wayland.
