Switch nautilus to always open in new window.

Open a folder with say your source code project.
Switch the window to your favorite settings, adjusting the window size,
position, zoom level, layout mode.
Double click on a folder inside the window
If the folder was never open/tweaked before, I would expect the newly open
window to: 
- have the same size as it's parent
- be offset by 20 pixels to the right and botton
- use the same zoom factor
- use the same layout mode
- probably show the same set of toolbars, sidebars, etc.

The details of what to inherit from the parent might change, depending on how we
handle defaults otherwise. (If we have UI for setting the default zoom factor,
say, then we wouldn't want to inherit it from the parent.) But in general this
idea worked really well on the Mac and would significantly improve the
experience when using new folders, I think. However, it's definitely a new
feature, so I have to mark it deferred.

Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.

This is a really good idea. Another thing we should do is that new
folder should be created with the same permissions as their parent folder.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
