Bug Description
Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
deja-dup 34.2-0ubuntu1.1
duplicity 0.7.06-2ubuntu2
The suggested method for restoring a missing file with Nautilus and Deja-Dup is to right click on a list of entries in a folder to see the "restore missing files" option. However, if there is no white space it is therefore impossible to bring up this option.
"gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.DejaDup" > /tmp/deja-
The command "DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --restore | tail -n 1000 > /tmp/deja-dup.log" prodcues no results since deja dup cannot run unless white space exists in a directory listing and as stated, in folders with no white space, it is impossible to place the cursor in a white space area to get started.
Technicians can replicate this issue easily by creating a folder with hundreds of files or at least enough files so that expanding the Nautilus display files pane shows now white space, and attempting to restore a file - Nautilus will not produce "restore a missing file" option on the right click of mouse.

Interesting. One workaround is to switch to icon-grid mode in Nautilus, rather than list mode. Then you have white space to click on.
