Comment 6 for bug 990965

I personally had given up using Nautilus in 12.04 after several times of painstakingly selecting a number of items, then right-clicking to choose "cut" or "copy," then losing the selection instead. I assumed it was a bug. I never would have discovered that you now have to click on the visible characters of the name, and I don't think it's a good idea to implement such hidden behaviors for a number of reasons.

I personally have no need to access the folder context menu with a mouse in list view, but if that feature is in demand, is there a different way of accomplishing that without breaking the right-click for everyone else who uses "open," "cut," "copy," and "trash" all the time?
