What David said about losing the selection keeps happening to me too. I think it is infinitely more useful and productive to keep the usual behaviour everyone who uses list view (in any application, really) is accustomed to than to have a folder context menu whose few commands can also be found in the menus, if anyone needs them. If I remember correctly, this is also the behaviour in some Windows Explorer versions, which I always felt counterintuitive, so now having this in Nautilus too is definitely a regression for me.
Before, when the list didn't fill up the whole folder's viewport, the context menu was still accessible by right-clicking the empty area below the last item. As a suggestion, I'd rather have a (forced) small empty space below the last item at all times when the list filled the viewport for context menu accessibility than this new behaviour. But maybe that would look a bit awkward, so here's another suggestion: make the folder's context menu pop up on column header and/or status bar right- click. I believe this would probably make everyone happy, so if this is not the place to leave this suggestion, could anyone be so kind as to point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance. PS: Or just make the new behaviour optional. Shouldn't be that much work, I suppose. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990965 Title: unexpected right click behavior in nautilus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/990965/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
