I can confirm Find messes up the filesize of some files.
I'll report this in Bugzilla if it hasn't been done already.

Kind regards,

It might not be Find per se, but the gadget that is displaying the results in the window.

I just checked the bugzilla, and this bug was already reported some time ago.
Bug #7953.

Kind regards,

Is there a public place where the reported bugs are listed?
Quite annoying to care bug reports that has been reported before.

I just took a quick look at the Find source code and it's a pretty simple bug to fix. Due to a mistake the length of the size column text is limited to 7 characters instead of 31 as it's supposed to be. I'll fix it immediately.

No there isn't. Well, not except what you can find by searching here.

But don't worry too much; even if a bug has already been reported, it's always good to get a second angle on it, or to bring it to the attention of us beta testers again; maybe you happen to be explaining the problem in a way which we didn't understand the first time around, which can help getting it fixed.

Best regards,

Niels
