Same is happening to me, went from 10.04 to 12.04. I did a little bit of testing and I could single out the instance when this happens:
1) Open Nautilus, set view as list. 2) Without previously selecting any item, right click on any item's line but NOT over the file/document's name. 3) The item does not get selected, and the right click menu appears as if you clicked on a blank space, not recognizing the item's right click menu (ie Open With, etc) If you right click over the name of the file/folder, then the item gets selected and menu shows up. This is why it seemed random to me until I figured out the behavior, and makes it an annoying bug for folders containing items with short names. Hope this can be replicated/fixed soon! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995932 Title: right click on file name in nautilus brings up wrong menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/995932/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
