** Description changed:

  In previous versions of Ubuntu, copying in nautilus behaved so that it
  was possible to select a file, Ctrl+C (or just right-click + copy) and
  the resulting data on the clipboard was a "pasteable" file path that
  could be used directly in a terminal or by Ctrl+V in an open file dialog
  box. This was incredibly powerful.
  
  Ubuntu 19 behaves differently. If I for example select my .zshrc file in
  nautilus and past into terminal, the resulting output is:
  
  x-special/nautilus-clipboard
  copy
  file:///home/trond/.zshrc
  
- imho this is a bug as it severly reduces the overall file management
- experience in Ubuntu.
+ performing the same on Ubuntu 18 or lower would copy the literal path of
+ the file:
+ 
+ /home/trond/.zshrc
+ 
+ 
+ imho this is a bug as it deteriorates the overall file management experience 
in Ubuntu.
