Public bug reported:
In Nautilus list view, if there are no empty rows, it is not possible to
drop files into the current directory. You can only drop on a folder, or
a file.
In keeping with previous versions of Nautilus and Windows and most other
file managers, you should ALWAYS be able to drop files into the current
directory.
To reproduce:
- open Nautilus and make sure list view is enabled
- navigate to a folder with enough folders/files in it to fill the view (or
just resize the window to make the scroll-bar appear)
- open another Nautilus window and drag a file or files over the list of files
in the other Nautilus window
-> it is not possible to drop the files in the current directory; you can only
drop it into a folder or a file (in the latter case, Nautilus will ask you if
you want to create a directory with the same name as the file)
You should be able to drop files onto any available white-space and have
those files copied to the current directory.
