Description Alexander Potashev 2025-09-30 07:45:30 UTC

SUMMARY
File context menu only opens when RMB on filename text.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open directory with files.
2. Change view mode to "Details"
3. Right-click on a file line past (to the right of) the filename.

OBSERVED RESULT
File not selected. Context menu doesn't contain "Open With".

Windows 11 File Explorer has the same issue :(

EXPECTED RESULT
File selected. Context menu contains "Open With".

I expect this because when a file is selected by other means, the highlight spans the whole width of the viewport. Therefore I consider the whole line as a click target for a given file.

This looks intentional, so that the user can access the other right click context menu (starting with "Create New")
I'll pass this along as a feature request to the developers for their input.
