Thank you for your bug report but it's not a bug, before that change it
was impossible to get the context menu to i.e create a new directory in
a directory with enough rows to file the nautilus dialog

Title:
nautilus displays incorrect context menu for right-click over blank
part of row
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I have nautilus set to show list mode, ie showing the file 'name',
'size', 'date modified' and 'type'.
If I right click on a row showing one of the files or directories, it
should normally display a context menu for that file (ie the menu
starting with the 'Open' command). This is the case in Ubuntu 11.04
and earlier.
However, in Ubuntu 12.04 this menu is only displayed if I click where
text is displayed in one of the columns ('name', 'size', 'date
modified', or 'type'). If I click on the blank part between the
columns, I get the menu starting with 'Create New Folder', which is
normally reserved for blank parts of nautilus (ie where there is no
row).
This means, for instance, that if you painstakingly select a number of
files with CTRL and left mouse click and then right-click on one of
the selected rows but miss the text, you lose the selection completely
and are shown the wrong context menu.
It also makes it hard to select files or folders with short names like
'1'.
