Public bug reported:
Example 1
Browse to a folder in a read/write filesystem, select some file or folder and
hit Ctrl+C
Then browse to a folder in a read-only filesystem, and hit Ctrl+V (paste)
Expected: exactly the same should happen as when you drag an item from a
folder to the other: an error message informing you that the operation
failed, with a "details" dropdown which you can expand and see it was
because the target folder is read-only
Observed: nothing happens at all. Not even the error sound is played.
Example 2
Go to a read-only filesystem, select a file or folder and hit Ctrl+X (cut). If
it was a read/write filesystem the selected item would become grey. Since it is
readonly it can't, but:
Expected: an error message should pop up or at the very least, the error
sound should be played
observed: nothing happens at all
