Bug Description

Long press/touch a directory won't trigger the context menu for it.

OS: 22.04, up to date @ Mar 8, 2022.
nautilus: 1:42~beta-1ubuntu1
mode: wayland

With a touch monitor, it will be useful if we can do more operation with it.

If I long press a file (for about 1 second), a context menu will appear just like we right-click mouse button on it. Then we can do file deleting, copy and move.

We can also do the same as we long touch the empty space, and then we can create directory, etc.

Thank you for your bug report, is that under wayland or x11? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/626 upstream seems similar and suggests things should work slightly better under x11 if you want to confirm

I was testing in Wayland. Just test under X11, slightly better, but still not useable.

Could you comment upstream stating it's still an issue in the current version? Also how important the bug is for OEM? Do we have preloaded touch configs where it's an issue?

So I assume this issue doesn't have dependency with 2 in 1? Even though on clamshell form factor, if the panel is touchable, same issue will occur?
In this case, I think this issue should be must fixed.
