redhat-release-8.0-8
nautilus-2.2.3-1

Open Nautilus with tree view. Browse to /tmp and you'll propably see some
files in the main window.

Now do the following:

A) Right click on anywhere on right window, over some file or directory, or
at empty space:

 1) When clicked over some item, the menu opened does not contain "Create
directory" (or similar) option

 2) When clicked over empty space, there is no menu at all


B) Right click on /tmp entry on the Tree view, there is no menu at all


ps. yes, there's "New folder" in main menu of Nautilus, but user expects
this function to appear in given previous locations

When clicking over empty space, I get a right-click menu (in 2.2.3.1).
The "new folder" option is greyed out and unavailable for folders in
which I don't have write permission. In the case of your example,
/tmp, it works correctly.

This and your other bug (110127) suggest something weird in your setup.

The problem here is that you can't access the context menu for the
current folder in the list view :/
