Bug#858007: nautilus: Not possible to show the general context menu when the file list occupies all space of the window

[Pr0metheus]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.22.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Consider a folder that has many files that even when maximizing the window
there are still more to see (needs scrolling), e.g., 190 files. Try to find a
place to right and show the general context menu (The menu that contains New
Folder, New Document, Open in Terminal, etc). This is not possible.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I looked over the window to find a place to make this context menu appear but
it was not posibble.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

I wasn't able to use the general context menu

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected to see the general context menu, but as a solution I suggest to
include these entries in the file specific context.
