Screen recording with two tests

What I did:
(See attached video.) In both tests I've selected two files and right-clicked one of them. In the first case I didn't move the cursor between releasing LMB and pressing RMB; in the second case, I did.

What happened:
In the first case Nautilus acted like I've right-clicked empty space in the folder, even though I've clicked a file. In the second case it acted normally - like I've right-clicked a file.

What was expected:
In both cases Nautilus should act like I've right-clicked a file.

Additional info:
Ubuntu 13.04, GNOME nautilus 3.6.3.

I was really confused. I've tried few times and it looked like I can't open right-click menu related to few files. I have found solution in about 15s to 1m, but If I didn't knew anything about mouse events (and average user doesn't have that knowledge) it would last longer.

Does this still happen in 3.10 or 3.8? 3.6 is not supported anymore in upstream (but maybe in distributions like Ubuntu).

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 versions 3.8 and 3.10.
