Bug Description

OS: Ubuntu 17.10
Hardware: Panasonic FZ-M1 mk2

Using Nautilus with a touchscreen, user is unable to perform click & drag operations to move files and folders. Click & drag works to "select" multiple files, but they cannot be dragged to new locations. Likewise, simulating a "right click" is not possible with a touchscreen, so even when files are selected, no copy and paste operations are available to move them. Additionally, double-tapping to open a file or folder is unreliable, and requires an extremely precise second tap in order to work properly.
