Bug Description

In certain cases, the right-click context menu grays out some options, but they can still be selectioned and used. This is very confusing.

It happened for the copy, paste and rename options, for filesystems where I have otherwise full credentials. I insist on the fact that these commands work as expected they display as grayed out options but are still selectionable.

agree, very annoying bug!
my ubuntu version: 12.04 beta x, 64 bit;
my presumption (hypothesis): only happens when multiple nautilus tabs (>3) are open in the same window.
Cure highly appreciated! regards tom
