Bug Description

Clicking the right mouse button on the breadcrumb-buttons that represent the path to the current folder used to offer on option "Paste into folder". This options is now gone.

This is extra annoying since the only alternative is right clicking an EMPTY space in the window area itself. But in the list view mode if the current folder content fills up the window there is no empty space anywhere.

Luckily, CTRL+V still works so that is currently the only workaround.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

This has only gotten worse. Paste into folder also disappeared from the menu. Open in terminal has always been lacking.
I fail to see why not all items from the context menu on listed folders together with those from the context menu on the view background are being offered on the current column breadcrumb context menu.
Remember: on a filled up view in list view mode the background can not be touched so the breadcrumb is the only easily accessible marker for the current folder.

I am running Disco Dingo dev. branch now with Nautilus 3.31-90 and it seems they have fixed it. I consider this one closed.
