Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
gedit 2.20.3
Nautilus 2.20.0
When the focus is in the file browser pointing at a file and you press
the DEL key then the file is directly sent to the trash bin. I did not
try it on a folder.
I was about to delete some characters in the editor. Then I jumped into
the file browser side-panel to look up for some files. Now the focus is
on a file. I did not realize the focus was in the file browser so I
pressed the DEL key to continue editing (deleting the characters in the
editor). The file (with the focus) disappeared. Apparently it went
straight to the trash bin.
There was no prompt despite my setting in
Nautilus::Preferences::Behavior::Trash::Ask before emptying the Trash or
deleting files. Even with "Include a Delete command that bypasses Trash"
set to off.
This can be very confusing, and probably even hazardous (think of a
power failure). One might not notice that the file is trashed.
I think this is not an expected behavior.
I don't know whether this is a gedit issue or the underlying file
browser library (perhaps Nautilus?) but I thought gedit authors should
know about it.
