The drop-menu is missing

It is not possible to drag a file in Thunars detail view, with a right-click on the name-column of a file. Thunar will show the context-menu of the file immediately. This is inconsistent, as it works in the other views - but not in detail view. In Thunar 1.6.6 it worked as expected.

The goal is to use the "drop-menu" - "Move here"/"Copy here"/"Link here"

Expected behaviour:
1) right click on filename, keep mouse-button pressed
2) drag the file over a folder
3) drop, release the mouse-button
4) Thunar shows the drop-menu (attachment: missing_menu.png)

This works in the other views, but not in detail-view.

Actual behaviour:
1) right click on filename, keep mouse button pressed
2) Thunar shows context-menu of the file immediately

A workaround is to select the file, then right-click on another column of the file and start the drag&drop, this works and shows the drop-menu.

If the view in Thunar is set as "View as Icons", right click and drag simply copies the file(s) over to the new location. There is no menu displayed when the files are dropped at the destination.

I have also tried the right-click and drag with the view in Thunar set as "View as Detailed List". I still get no menu when I drag and drop at the new location.

Thats a known regression of 1.8.x  and as well seems to be still a problem for thunar 1.6.x

 Hope I will have time to look into it soon
