Bug Description
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

$ apt-cache policy nautilus

If a folder is opened in the GNOME/nautilus list view it is not always possible to get the right mouse click menu of the current folder because nautilus selects a whole line instead of a file name and produced right click menu belongs to a file in the list, not to the current folder.
If the current folder list is short enough then one can right click on the empty space below the last line and that way can get the right click menu of the current folder.
This problem is caused by nautilus selecting a whole line in the list view instead of a file name in the list.

Upstream consider it fixed in the current version, see https:/
"This has been fixed in the development version, with a location menu in the pathbar, which has got a Paste action.
The context menu is preserved but no longer required for this action.
https:/
that version is in disco so closing the bug
