Staudey The other possible solution using dconf-editor is described here: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/8463-fix-for-dark-themes-with-blaring-white-applications

DISCLAIMER: I haven't been active on this forum for some time or read all of the responses in this post.

Since one of my posts was mentioned as a solution for theming issues I wanted to point out that I just wrote another reply in the same post explaining how to install flatpak apps that follow theming directives properly so users have the option of using Dolphin temporarily while fixes to existing are worked on.

This solution will work for Dolphin AND ANY OTHER FLATPAK APP INSTALLED so it can offer a solution for using Dolphin temporarily in lieu or Nautilus OR any Gnome/Budgie/GTK app available on flatpak that might be giving people issues when installed from the repo.

Thank you to everyone who have taken on the herculean task of fixing a widespread issue like this and I very much hope this can be a potential solution for some of the problems people are facing.

    infinitymdm Following up again on the Nautilus crash when renaming files:

    Just happened to me after rebooting my system. Here is the sequence of events, as best I can recall.

    • Launched Nautilus
    • Used popover menu to show hidden files
    • Navigated to ~/.config/gtk-4.0
    • Right clicked on gtk.css, and clicked rename
    • Pressed right arrow key
      Expected: Cursor moves to the end of the text entry box so I can tack a ".old" onto my file.
      Actual result: Nautilus immediately crashed.

        Just repeated this procedure a few times. Nautilus crashed 6 out of 10 times. Still far too small of a sample size to be meaningful, but I'm not going to test like that all day, so...

        Anyways, the crashes spit out this pango error:

        (org.gnome.Nautilus:5916): Pango-CRITICAL **: 19:40:30.418: _pango_layout_get_iter: assertion 'PANGO_IS_LAYOUT (layout)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

        I suppose that means I can conclusively say this is related to Pango. I'd probably better go report it, or at least follow up on that other issue I linked earlier.

        One final note: selecting the file (with a left click) prior to right click > rename seems to prevent the crash. So I guess the workaround for now is to make sure you select your files before right clicking to rename them.

          I can reproduce the renaming crash 100% now with @infinitymdm's method. It doesn't work when nautilus is already open (even in the background), but after a killall nautilus starting it, selecting a file, rename, press right arrow, always crashes for me. I tried to get some kind of trace with gdb, but then my whole system froze, several times. Will try again later.

          Since most of the issues mentioned here concern nautilus I was wondering if anyone got similar issue with firefox after the last update, namely after some time the right click menu will bug and wont launch* in browser, also certain pop up elements such as downloads list, saved logins list etc. suffer the same issue, restarting the browser fixes that but only for a while until it occurs again.
          *-to be more precise it launch & disappear immediately making it unusable.

            niobleoum Is this on a GTK-based desktop (basically everything but Plasma)? Personally I haven't noticed any issues with Firefox on Budgie, but I'll keep an eye on it.

            @everyone: I'm going to delete some of your messages because this thread is starting to become unfocused. As I've said in the original post, I don't want off-topic discussion, "me too!", or similar messages. Just new problems and actual solutions. It becomes hard to track those when they're interspersed among dozens of other posts. So far I have let this slide somewhat, but it seems to just get worse and worse without intervention.

                I'm as guilty as anyone here. And fair enough. I thought there was some troubleshooting value in posts/replies that could/could not corroborate? But I can see where, on the other hand, they could be a distraction as well,

                  gnome-calendar shows all events multiple times in week-view and in sidebar-preview on the left

                  I have an issue with the gnome-calendar. When I open it after boot, everything is just fine.
                  Then I close it and open it again: all events in week-view and in preview in sidebar on the left are shown twice.
                  Then I close it and open it again: all events in week-view and in preview in sidebar on the left are shown three times.
                  Then I close it and open it again: all events in week-view and in preview in sidebar on the left are shown four times.
                  And so forth....
                  In month view everything is just fine. This does only affect week view and the sidebar.

                    Sebastian Huh, that's weird. Yeah, I can reproduce that. Gonna add it to the list and look if there's already a fix available. Thanks!

                      nautilus: files marked as favourite appear multiples times in "favourite directory"

                      steps to reproduce:
                      open nautilus
                      click on the favourite bookmark in the sidebar on the left
                      all files marked as favourite are shown once (supposed behaviour!)
                      open another nautilus instance (new window)
                      also click on the favourite bookmark in the sidebar on the left
                      in the new window all files marked as favourite are shown once BUT now in the first window all files marked as favourite are shown twice

                      If you now open another instance of nautilus and click on the favourite bookmark, new window shows favourites once, the second windows shows favourites twice and the first started instance shows favourites three times.
                      And so forth I guess.

                      I have a weird issue that I'm not even sure if it is a Nautilus or a Budgie bug.
                      If I open a terminal, either from Nautilus or normally, it goes in front of all windows, as expected. If I open another, it goes in front, as expected.
                      If I close either of them, now every terminal I open from Nautilus will go in background and I need to select it from the task list, until I close all terminals.
                      It's not a serious issue, but it's very annoying since I open a lot of terminals from Nautilus...

                      anyone found a way to drag/drop in nautilus and create a link? you used to be able to hold down the alt key and this little menu appeared

                        Lucien_Lachance anyone found a way to drag/drop in nautilus and create a link?

                        I didn't see anything about creating a link with Nautilus. Even in the context menu, there was only a way to create a new folder.

                        In Dolphin, there are several options for creating a link. I don't kow if there's a way to do it with drag 'n' drop, but perhaps one of these will work for you. Installing Dolphin might bring with it a fair few dependencies, but on the whole, I think it's a better file manager.

                            WetGeek im very familiar with dolphin, it s***s all over nautilus, but im not going to install that on gnome
                            you used to get that little menu (move/copy/link) - just like you always get in dolphin in nautilus too, by holding down the alt key. but not anymore

                                I think its one those features that went in the waste basket.
