It is not possible to drag a file in Thunars detail view, with a right-click on the name-column of a file. Thunar will show the context-menu of the file immediately. This is inconsistent, as it works in the other views - but not in detail view. In Thunar 1.6.6 it worked as expected.
The goal is to use the "drop-menu" - "Move here"/"Copy here"/"Link here"
Expected behaviour:
1) right click on filename, keep mouse-button pressed
2) drag the file over a folder
3) drop, release the mouse-button
4) Thunar shows the drop-menu (attachment: missing_menu.png)
This works in the other views, but not in detail-view.
Actual behaviour:
1) right click on filename, keep mouse button pressed
2) Thunar shows context-menu of the file immediately
A workaround is to select the file, then right-click on another column of the file and start the drag&drop, this works and shows the drop-menu.
