Demonstration of the current behaviour

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click on an unselected item in grid or compact view 
2. Right click on an unselected item in details view

OBSERVED RESULT
Currently the behaviour is different and inconsistent. In grid or compact view, right clicking shows the menu for the item the mouse is hovered over. In details view, it shows the menu for the current folder.

EXPECTED RESULT
The behaviour should be consistent between all three modes. Ideally, the current behaviour in grid/compact view is preserved but this could also be made configurable.
