Can't create new folders

[Killwin98]

Hello,

I have mountain lion with the latest updates on imac 27 (the latest).
I created a folder with many subfolders: http://i.imgur.com/M5eqUSb.png
Now when I want to create a new folder I can't do it by right-clicking, because I don't have enough "white space", so it choose the folder I'm standing next to, instead of opening that menu for creating a new folder.

The work around is to create that folder elsewhere and drag it there, but it doesn't seem like the right way to do it.

How should I do it?

Thanks!

Click the gear in the toolbar - it has a "create new folder" item. Also shift-cmd-N creates a new folder.
