On right click in File explorer (Nautilus) this happens (options are 'create new folder', 'create new document', etc). It does not happen on applications such as Firefox, Writer, etc.

I know this happened after I made I clean install to 12.04 but I do not know if it happened since the install or after.

Even though the option is greyed out I can still paste if I click it, or Ctrl+V.

Any idea?

Try your updating your system after fresh install. Might have fixed. – tijybba Jul 19 '12 at 13:18
