I made a screencast of this bug in action here:

Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS

Here is my full ubuntu and nautilus version info.
cat /proc/version
cat /etc/issue
uname -a
Linux version 3.2.0-31-generic (buildd@allspice) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 7 16:16:45 UTC 2012

nautilus --version
GNOME nautilus 3.4.2

This issue also occurs with the "rename" right-click option, which appears greyed out as if the option is disabled, though renaming is still allowed. I just tested closing all nautilus windows to try to restart nautilus, and the problem is gone for now once I do that.  Obviously since I know that the disabled looking options are still usable, this bug does not pose a problem for me, but it may confuse other users.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has already been fixed. It should be solved in the next software version. You may want to check for a software upgrade.

"It should be
solved in the next software version. You may want to check for a software
upgrade."

So, LTS releases are now 'wait for the next release - BUT it won't have LTS?

Where's the logic in that? Many of us don't upgrade between LTS releases for the very reason they tend to be weeding out problems.

This is not a 'RESOLVED' solution to the LTS release. It's M$ mentality.

I's unfortunate that an update with the bug fix is not available for your current operating system version at this moment. However, the GNOME community ('upstream') doesn't have any control over software distributions and their long term support policies ('downstream'). You may try to use a support medium provided by your software distributor to ask if/when a fix for this bug will be available for your system. There is nothing left to be done about this bug here in the GNOME bug tracker.
