I don't feel like commenting on the Bugzilla bug report, which states that . . .
<blockquote>We will remove the floating bar after releasing 3.16, so probably this won't be need at all.</blockquote>

. . . but this could be fixed by increasing the vertical scrollable size
of the window when the last row is selected.

The vertical size already increases based on the length of file names in
the last row, this would just be an extension of that. The comment on
Bugzilla also does not say what they are replacing the floating bar
with. Being able to see the size of a file, without having file size
always enabled at default zoom level, using just a single click is
useful and it shouldn't go away.

Alt-enter is not a replacement because it takes longer, and not everyone
has a fast computer. The lag it takes to open the properties window also
seems to scale with the number of items in the folder.

Title:
  Status Bar Covers File Name at Bottom

Status in Nautilus:
  Confirmed
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  In Nautilus when you have an even number of files on the bottom row it
  becomes difficult to rename the last file as the status bar covers the
  text area.

  I realize this is likely a rare occurrence, and can be gotten around
  by adjusting the width of the window, but it is a minor bug.

  Possible solutions:

  Move status bar to the left side when working with files in that
  corner.

  Do not show status bar while renaming.

  Best IMHO: Give the file area a bottom margin of the height of the
  status bar.

  
  Ubuntu 11.04, Gnome-Shell (Although it should just be nautilus in general.)
  nautilus: 1:3.0.2-0ubuntu2~natty1
