Bug Description
If folder opened in Nautilus contains only one item (file or folder), it is impossible to select such item using a keyboard (arrow keys, without using mouse pointer). This is caused by a GTK4 bug, however I am reporting this as a Nautilus issue since it as far as I know affects only or mostly Nautilus.
This is a big problem for visually impaired users. Please, consider backporting the upstream patch into Ubuntu 24.04 once it gets merged.
Here is an upstream ticket and the mentioned fix:

The upstream Merge request was still not merged and there was no activity. It could be a good idea to consider applying the patch in downstream if it works correctly, fixes the problem and does not cause any new regressions.
