[Bug 838756] [NEW] "new tab" on desktop nautilus makes awkward desktop experience

 

Public bug reported:

click on desktop so nautilus has focus.

1. you'll not that in the toolbar, the menu shows if you mouse over it,
but it doesn't have a title (this is inconsistent with all other apps).

2. choose 'file -> new tab'.

you should get an all white screen (see screenshots). The white is
actually a new tab in nautilus. you can see in another screenshot that
if you move the mouse just below the power cog, there is a close tab
button. Pressing that gets you back to your normal, expected desktop.

this is really awkward for the user.
