cannot create folder or file when in list view

[Teo]

Binary package hint: nautilus

In the icon view, you can create a new folder or empty file by right-clicking on any empty region of the window and selecting "create folder" or "create document / empty file" in the dropdown menu.

When in List view, you can also do that but only IF there is some empty space after the end of the list.

If there are enough items in the folder, there won't ever be even a single pixel of empty space (no matter how much you scroll) where you can right-click and do "create folder".

The only way to create a folder in such case is to switch to icon view, or to use the File menu ("file / create folder") which is a little annoying.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

This is still an issue with the current version of Ubuntu. It is being marked as duplicate of bug #126540 because that is more generic and fixing that will cause this to be fixed as well.
