Hmm, I'm not sure whether I'd classify this as a basic Nautilus functionality. First, I wonder how many people actually know that there's a preview functionality hidden on the space bar. I always thought it was a very obscure and mostly unknown thing. Second, lacking a spacebar preview in a file manager doesn't seem to be a big loss. You still have a thumbnail preview. If thumbnails were broken, that would be much more visible, and it would cause real inconvenience, like having a hard time to find one particular picture in a folder with many. That would be much closer to "basic functionality" than the spacebar preview. This bug feels more like CommonBugs than a Blocker to me.

Please share your opinions, thanks.

I agree with @kparal that the basic functionality is very questionable here. I never knew this was even possible. Furthermore, this problem, in my opinion, does not prevent the application from being used correctly for manipulating files which I consider to be basic functionality of a file manager. The reported issue is a cosmetic flaw to me.

FinalBlocker -1

FinalBlocker -1

Agree with @kparal and @lruzicka - that function is way too unknown and unimportant to be a release blocker...

It has been confirmed by the Workstation WG that this behaviour is not blocking for Fedora 33. See the original bug for more info.

Thanks @lruzicka for the update. I'll reset the vote so that we can vote again with the WG guidance on mind.

REVOTE FinalBlocker

FinalBlocker -1

It doesn't make sense to me to block on this when Workstation WG themselves don't consider it a basic functionality.

I submitted this as a Beta FE as we have a fix now. Can I have some Beta FE votes as well, please?

I would suggest voting BetaFE +1, FinalBlocker -1.

tbh I don't think this is anywhere near important enough for BetaFE. It's safe -- the risk of breaking other components is almost zero -- so there's not really any harm to sneaking it in. But it's also just not a very important bug, and can be easily fixed with an update post-beta.

"not a very important bug" per the standards of a beta release, when the bug is going to be fixed with an update anyway. I would be concerned about this issue if we didn't have an update pending to fix it. But we do. :)

Today's update of sushi-3.34.0-4.fc33.x86_64 fixed the issue (at least on my test system)
