Bug Description
After yesterdays updates a right click, mostly on text files, doesn't display complete context menu. (video)
It displays always e.g. create new file, properties, dis- and enlarge.
It randomly doesn't display e.g. rename, cut and paste.
It doesn't display mostly on text files, rarely on .ogv or .png files.
Update:
The confusion came from a bug fix yesterday, please note Comment #2.
Due to usability issues changed the description to request an independent context menu.
If a file name is very short, for example 'fo' or '1' a user needs to have sufficient target skills in order to access the appropriate context menu via right click.
Expected:
Allow independent context menu otherwise it may be randomly lost.
Leave it up to user which action to select.
It's more confusing to miss context than to right click and have a comprehensive selection offered.

Thank you for your bug report, looking at your video I guess you get confused because the context menu is not the same when clicking on the label or icon and on the blank space?
That's the fix for bug #51043, there was nowhere to click before to get the context menu, now if you click on some empty space in a line you will the context menu for the directory which allows to paste in the directory, create new directories, etc
