Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

I don't know, maybe I am completely blind.
But if this is right, it would be a serious issue in my opinion:

1.change nautilus to list view;
2. change into any directory that has more files than nautilus can displa at one page, so "after" the files is no free (in my case white) space.
3. Usually you can click into that space and create a directory.
But if there is no space *after* the files, you can't click on the "empty directory background", you always select a file.

As said, please correct me if I am totally wrong, but this is annoying behavoiur.

Look at Konqueror or M$ Explorer, the way they do it is the intuitive one.

sorry - you answered too fast, I corrected my initial bug report - I meant "list view" of course - but as above: it's a duplicate...
