Please:

1) Confirm how you tested (referring to the test plan is fine, but
please do so) what the results were, and which package versions you
tested before marking verification-done.

2) Fix the "Regression Potential: None" in the bug description and
explain how you have considered other users who might be broken by this
change. I asked for this in comment 43. For example, see D H's comment
45 above. Should I take this as an unfortunate side effect of this
proposed fix that needs to be considered? I don't know, so I don't know
whether it is safe to release this update or not.

Please mark verification-done after you've done the two things above.
This will help prevent users being regressed. Thanks!

Title:
  SRU: Status Bar Covers File Name at Bottom

Status in Nautilus:
  Fix Released
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in nautilus source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  If using Nautilus without a status bar the selected item title
  'floats' at the bottom of the file listing.

  If you choose the last file item in a list this 'floating' title
  prevents you seeing the actual title making editing
  difficult/impossible. This issue is also present in icon view if you
  have an even number of files on the bottom row it becomes difficult to
  rename the last file as the status bar covers the text area.

  [Test Case]

  Using Ubuntu 16.04.1 open the file manager, click "Home", enable list
  view and resize the file manager window so that the contents of the
  home directory just fit vertically and horizontally. Select the last
  item in the file listing and then move the mouse slowly from left to
  right and back again several time. You will see the floating status
  bar will jump from left to right, obscuring details of the selected
  item.

  After the patched nautilus package is installed, performing the same
  test will result on the floating status bar being hidden when the
  mouse hovers over it.

  [Regression Potential]

  None. This patch has been adapted from the following upstream commit:

  * https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=e66d3ca

  Packages have been built in a PPA and tested for regressions.

  [ Other Info ]

  Binary package hint: nautilus

  The following possible solutions were considered:

  * Give the file list a bottom margin of the height of the status bar.
  * Move status bar to the left side when working with files in that corner.
  * Do not show status bar while renaming.
  * Hide the floating bars when hovering over part of the selection.
