Jakob, the problem occours when you try to copy & paste files to/from
clipboard

Please, follow the steps:
 1. Start Nautilus, right click a file in any folder, select "copy"
 2. Open another folder containing many subfolders, more than can be shown at a 
time
 3. Select list view mode - ensure that vertical scroll bar is visible
 4. Right-click any point in background area of the folder (white space) to 
select the "paste" command
Here the bug occours:
 5. A file or a subfolder is selected (hi-lighted) by the right click and the 
context menu don't show "paste" option

The correct behavior should be:
 5. The subfoder is not selected and the context menu show "paste" option

In resume:
When showing the contents of a folder in listview mode, Nautilus don't let any 
background available for right-clik, different from iconview, where background 
is "right-clickable". In the same way, we can't create a new subfolder or a new 
file do the folder.
KDE (Dolphin) and Windows (Explorer) have different solutions for the problem, 
but in both cases it works.
But in Nautilus it does not work.

Thank you!
