This IMHO is not a low priority, it's not just renaming files! It's even selecting them that is a problem.
I use "List" view a lot and either when the window is half-screen width or more often when using the "Extra Pane" (where each pane is thus narrower), the 'status' bar pops up over the last entry almost every time.
I know the 'status' tries to hop to the other side of the pane to allow this kind of thing, but that is seldom triggered or fixes the problem. If anything is selected, the only way to select the last file is to unselect all files with Ctrl-click then the 'status' is out of the way so the last file can be selected. And if you're selecting multiples, you have so resize the window really because losing all your selections to start again with the last one is ridiculous.

Title:
  Status Bar Covers File Name at Bottom

Status in Nautilus:
  Unknown
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
