Bug#851523: caja: Can't open any folder from the Side Pane ("Tree" mode) in a new window using context menu.

[Felix Cat]

Package: caja
Version: 1.8.2-3+deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I discovered that it is impossible to open any folder from the Side Pane
("Tree" mode) in a new window using context menu.

Here is a bug report:

Summary:
The folder from the Side Pane ("Tree" mode) is opened in the same window after
clicking "Open in New Window" context menu item.

Description:
The Side Pane element (folder) is opened in the same window after clicking
"Open in New Window" context menu item when the "Tree" mode is enabled.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any folder using Caja file manager (use the "caja /home/username"
command from the terminal, or double-click your home folder icon on the
desktop).
2. Pay attention to the window content.
3. Enable the Side Pane (check the "View -> Side Pane" checkbox).
4. Select the "Tree" drop-down list item on the upper part of the Side Pane.
5. Click the right mouse button on any folder shown on the Side Pane.
6. Click the "Open in New Window" context menu item.
7. Pay attention to the window content again. Also pay attention that no new
window appeared on the desktop.

Actual result:
The folder is opened in the same window.

Expected result:
The folder is opened in a new window; meanwhile the content of the other
windows opened on the desktop is not changed.

Sincerely yours,
Felix Cat
