The right-click context menu is opened for file/selection you clicked
on, if you click on file name in Detailed View mode.

The context menu for file doesn't include 'Paste' unless that context
menu is opened for single folder item. It is because you cannot really
paste files onto some text file, for example. You know, it's impossible.

The context menu for any file doesn't include 'Create...' submenu either
as you cannot create new directory inside of some text file and even if
selected file is a directory, such operation may give you misleading
result, creating new file inside of selected directory.

To paste files or create something new you should open context menu for
the folder itself and that can be achieved clicking on the empty space.
In the Icon View mode that empty space is spread everywhere so it's not
a problem. In Detailed View mode it may be not so obvious but columns
other than Name are considered as folder empty space so you can find the
context menu items you are missing by clicking anywhere on column other
than Name.

That is how it should be but there was a bug in 1.0.1 version about this
behavior which is fixed in upstread commit
d6e75ff183f3a8918c0c70a03cc83c7713de414c. Package in Ubuntu should be
either upgraded or fix added into update.
