Description Sense Hofstede 2009-11-12 17:59:19 UTC 
If you've selected a directory in the sidebar's tree and right-click on another directory, you will get the context menu of the directory you right-clicked on, but -- in contrary to the behaviour of Listview -- the directory won't get the selection.

This is inconsistent and not as expected. Therefore it is suggested to select directories in the sidebar's tree as well when it's right-clicked on.

This bug was originally reported by eyeskream in Ubuntu's bug tracker on Launchpad, https://launchpad.net/bugs/429046

Please note that this bug was written from a right-handed point of view. In case you are left-handed and use the left mouse button to summon context menus, you should test this with left-clicking.

This bug is still up to date even though it was reported over a year ago.
Any progress on this?

I pushed a fix for this to git master, thanks for the report.
