Bug Description

The tooltip hides the last file in the Nautilus window. If the last file has a sufficiently long name, then it becomes difficult or impossible to click on the last file. Workaround: Use the "File Edit..." etc. tools from the application bar to manipulate the last file.

This tooltip/popup issue is still a problem in Ubuntu 15.04, and it appears the old workaround has been disabled. Very frustrating. It should be possible to easily enable the status bar or turn off these popup tooltips.

Confirming this is still a bug, and a very annoying one in Ubuntu 15.04. Its especially egregious in list view.

This is a serious bug, please address. It's been noted in conversations for years. Just get rid of it please, what's the point? The file name is right there and the line selected is highlighted in orange, who needs a notification that makes the last file in the folder impossible to click? Thanks.
