Comment 9 for bug 597678

This is no bug in nautilus-open-terminal package. The problem is that nautilus does not provide an empty area to right click on which selects the current folder. In case, the folder is not full, you can click on the empty area to get the context menu of the current folder.

Other file managers, e.g. Windows Explorer select an item only if you click on its name. Having this behaviour you always find some empty space to get the context menu of the current folder.
