Public bug reported: When Nautilus is set to list-mode (Ctrl-2), it is not possible to create a folder or a file. This is only possible on the white area. But when a list is too big, there is no white area (below the list), so it is nearly impossible to create a new folder (or file), only by creating a new tab or nautilus window which is not very intuitive.
The good thing about list mode is that you can easily drill down in a folder structure. This bug is the only reason why I do not go into list- mode by default. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: When Nautilus is set to list-mode (Ctrl-2), it is not possible to create a folder or a file.
