What is that text at the bottom called? The "8 selected (containing 0 items)" ? It's not the status bar, since I don't have that activated. I don't even know how to describe it so I can search for how to remove the annoying pest.
I think I've seen it on Nautilus or Thunar as well, don't recall perfectly, but it didn't reach the pinnacle of annoying until now.
Thanks. I added “xfce” as a tag in the OP.
From the first link, the command in the selected answer seems to be for xfce, in general. I did try it and couldn’t discern any of the listed settings as regarding this text. Did see a thunar-volman setting but nothing for nemo.
In Nautilus, this is .nautilus-window .floating-bar
On my copy of Nemo, I have status bar enabled and I can't live without it and cannot imagine turning it off.
It has several controls on it, along with the status notifications on selected items.
I am not sure what Nemo calls it, but will explore and test with it and see if I can isolate what fix for it there is.
Thanks.
The best I can determine is that it's a leftover of the status bar. I checked with status bar on and off and that text in my posted pic appears when the status bar is off but doesn't seem to show with it on. Worst case scenario, I'll turn on the status bar and leave it on but fingers-crossed that it isn't the only option.
I admit, I am confused. I thought I would have this sorted.
It should be calling on ".floating-bar".
But instead, it is calling on ".background".
By changing the font color to "transparent" on .background, I made it disappear. But that is no fix and it would affect every other background text.
Interestingly; I just turned off my statusbar and I am not seeing the same thing as Carmar. Instead, there is no status displayed at the bottom at all.
Thanks, guys. I appreciate the investigation.
I think I've wasted enough of your time - more so given that you two are busy testing Z16. I suspect it may also be an artifact of some minor screwup when I installed Nemo. As you recall, I have that strange not-copy-from-Desktop issue. I'll just turn on the status bar and that should suffice. Sorry for the bother.
Appreciate the sentiment... But you really think we are gonna let this mystery haunt?
I get the feeling Harvey is similar in this: Not trying to "solve for you" as much as "learn for self".
I know - both of you have the inquisitive drive. I know it won’t be forgotten - just my 2 cents that it can sit on the backburner
That was the angle I was approaching it at:
What is Nemo calling?
