Cannot drop files into current folder

[xapp]

In Nautilus list view, if there are no empty rows, it is not possible to drop files into the current directory. You can only drop on a folder, or a file.

In keeping with previous versions of Nautilus and Windows and most other file managers, you should ALWAYS be able to drop files into the current directory.

To reproduce:
- open Nautilus and make sure list view is enabled
- navigate to a folder with enough folders/files in it to fill the view (or just resize the window to make the scroll-bar appear)
- open another Nautilus window and drag a file or files over the list of files in the other Nautilus window
-> it is not possible to drop the files in the current directory; you can only drop it into a folder or a file (in the latter case, Nautilus will ask you if you want to create a directory with the same name as the file)

You should be able to drop files onto any available white-space and have those files copied to the current directory.
