Bug Description

If you have many files in a folder and changed it to "List View", then you will not be able to paste any other file into the folder using the mouse because when right click, it will always select a file and doesn't show the option "Paste".

why is this bug still not solved? all you'd have to change is to either have a free line at all times at the bottom OR have an empty column at the side that allows you to paste when clicked inside it.

Is that so hard to program? If I had any experience with the programming language nautilus is written(C GTK+) in I'd do it myself.

I also read accounts from years back about this, THIS HASN'T BEEN SOLVED FOR YEARS???
