Thanks, indeed it's due to the experimental-view. That settings seems old and
unmaintained, it's not something we support or will fix so I'm closing the
report but feel free to report it upstream in case they would like to work on it

Title:
Can't double click items in icon view
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Ubuntu: 20.04LTS
Nautilus: 1:3.36.1.1-1ubuntu2
Double clicking an item in Nautilus should open the item but this
doesn't happen in all cases because the display is scrolled.
When items are displayed in icon view (as opposed to list view) and there are
more items than can be displayed in the window, clicking an item can cause the
display to scroll so that the item is no longer under the cursor and so
double-clicking is impossible.
This only seems to happen if the display has been scrolled down somewhat and
clicking the item then causes it to be scrolled to the bottom of the window.
In list view the item can be double-clicked without a problem so this is a
workaround.
