Bug#946526: nautilus: Nautilus removes sort-directories-first

[DrBunsen]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.30.5-2
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

Nautilus in my Debian install has been resetting the "sort-directories-first"
randomly for a while now. This started happening back in Stretch, and still
happens in Buster.

How to make it happen:
It seems to happen randomly, mostly when I have multiple nautilus windows open
with several tabs in them. Searching through big folders seems to trigger it
more frequently, but it is hard to trigger.

Kind regards,

DrBunsen
