Bug Description

If Tree View is set to show files in addition to folders,

- A single left-click on the files produces an error dialog:
  --------------------------------------------
           _Can't Display Location_
   *Couldn't display "/path/to/file.ext".*
   The location is not a folder. [ OK ]
  --------------------------------------------
- Double-clicking the files does either nothing, or the above
- Selecting "Open" from the file's right-click menu does either
  nothing, or produces the same error as above. The choice between
  nothing and the error seems random; or I can't find out what
  causes which.
- The right-click menu's "Open" function has a folder icon next
  to it, also implying that nautilus thinks it's a folder.
- Files (and folders) cannot be dragged from the tree view.

PS. These bugs seemed so closely related that i felt it would
be OK to list them in one report.

gnome-bug 311107 was a duplicate from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133393 - a patch was provided, but not applied. Changing to "in progress", however the "not in here" tag would be more adequate, as it's going to be fixed upstream.
