I personally had given up using Nautilus in 12.04 after several times of painstakingly selecting a number of items, then right-clicking to choose "cut" or "copy," then losing the selection instead. I assumed it was a bug. I never would have discovered that you now have to click on the visible characters of the name, and I don't think it's a good idea to implement such hidden behaviors for a number of reasons.
I personally have no need to access the folder context menu with a mouse in list view, but if that feature is in demand, is there a different way of accomplishing that without breaking the right-click for everyone else who uses "open," "cut," "copy," and "trash" all the time? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990965 Title: unexpected right click behavior in nautilus Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: then no file is selected, right click on any file in the list doesn't work. popup provide behaviour for current folder not for expected file ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.4.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Apr 29 11:27:44 2012 GsettingsChanges: org.gnome.nautilus.window-state geometry '1163x602+326+218' org.gnome.nautilus.window-state start-with-status-bar true InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-04-27 (1 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/990965/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
