Ubuntu 15.10 here, freshly upgraded. I used to have a bug that I hoped would have been fixed with this release, but it's still here, and it's annoying as hell for me as I work a lot with small TXT files.

The Preview / quickview function in Nautilus, triggered with Space key, doesn't work anymore for TXT file, it keeps "loading" and never shows the actual content of the file. The function seems a little buggy for other files, sometimes it hangs a bit before showing it, but it works (tested with AVI, PDF, PNG, JPG, DOC).

I noticed it doesn't work with DOCX neither (but the preview works with DOC), and Nautilus used to show the actual content of the file instead of the icon, now it's just the generic "W" icon...

Changing the Icon pack with Unity Tweak Tool don't seem to fix anything...

I think the bug is related with gloobus-preview utility, but I'm not even sure it's still running on 15.10? (See http://www.webupd8.org/2015/01/quick-file-previewer-gloobus-preview.html)

    If you're sure it is a bug, you should file a bug report on Launchpad instead of posting the question here, because we are not the developers of that application. – Byte Commander Dec 10 '15 at 09:45
  • I really don't know if it 's a bug or just something messed up with my own config. Noticed that some times, I can finally have a look at the TXT file, but it appears juste once every 20 attempts. Very weird and annoying.

    I installed Gloobus-preview utility, which has the same functionnality, and it does the same weird stuff, that is, not displaying Text files, but working ok for other file formats.

I use Sushi for space preview, and it works on 14.04. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gnome-sushi-quick-previewer-for-nautilus.html
