Public bug reported:

What I did:

- Nautilus is configured to show listview, and the directory-tree on the left ( just checked, symbolview has the same issue )
- right-click on a file/folder and clicking on copy 
- change to the folder where the file/foldershould be copied to
- rightclick anywhere in the listview of the contents of that folder

What happened:

- When rightclicking on a folder, there is the option to insert into that folder ( which is nice ) and cut and copy - no paste
- When rightclicking on a file the only options are cut and copy - no paste 
- When actually rightclicking on the actual folder from the tree-view, paste into that folder exists, but is inactive (!!!) - so no workaround available

What I expected:

a past option that pasts the "files/folders" I've "copied" before into the folder at whichs contents I'm looking.
and a paste into that folder option in the treeview

What I found out :

when there are very few files/folders in a folder, and the list is
shorter than the nautilus window could show - the whitespace below the
list has this option. This should simply be added to the files and
folders.

P.S: please do not remove paste into that folder - its nice actually,
but not all I expected...
