Not same right click menu in left and right part of Nautilus

[Mattias Ohlsson]

Affects package nautilus.

Problem:
Depending on if you right click in the left or in the right panel in nautilus there are two different menus coming up. Fore some reason it's only possible to rename and delete a file in the right column but not the left.

Solution:
Make sure that the same right click menu that is visible in the main right panel is also visible when a folder/place is right clicked in the right panel

The most related bugs that I found in the gnome bug database was:

Cant delete an Item which is selected on the left Panel with keyboard
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557461

and

can't drag files or directories from tree view
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110127

I don't know anything of the validity of those bugs but they all point at the same phenomena:
As a regular user I expect the left view/tree view to behave exactly the same as the right/main view. Right now it doesn't, it has a different right click menu and apparently a different behavior when deleting and dragging and dropping.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

what option would you like to get on the left pane which are not there? what sidepane mode do you use?

Does this problem persist in Karmic? Kindly test this in karmic and report back,Papercuts are minor issues that exist in Karmic

A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "incomplete" ONLY in the papercuts project.

marking duplicate as upstream for both is the same bug

[Chris Wilson (notgary-deactivatedaccount)]

I assume the OP's desire is to see the context menu for the right window replicated to the left.

the issue should be fixed with 3.5.4 in quantal
