Bug Description

In Nautilus, when we traverse to the end of a row of files, earlier it used to continue to the first file of next row. However, in this release it just stops there, and we again have to go to the start of the row and then press down key to reach the first file of next row.

This is particularly annoying for users habituated with keyboards.

This does appear to be a regression in functionality from previous versions of Nautilus, e.g. (2.3).

The proposed version resolves this bug. Navigation beyond the end of row continues at the beginning of the next row.
