Create New -> Folder.../Text File... features needs improvement: 1. If current folder is empty and '..' item is selected - it's impossible to create new folder or new text file. 2. Also impossible to create new folder or new text file when '..' item is selected in current non-empty folder.
Yes, I can confirm that behaviour. From the right click context menu "Create New ..." fails. However "F7 Mkdir" does work and can be used as a workaround until this bug is fixed.
Confirmed, the problem is present only on KrPopupMenu
