I have observed that copy/paste _reproducible_ stops working after renames.
Try this: 1. Open a folder/dir with subfolders/subdirs 2. Expand one of the subfolders, not by clicking/entering it, but by clicking the triangle tree symbol to "expand" next to the dir 3. The subdir's files are revealed 4. Rename one of the files in this subdir tree, and choose a name that triggers a re-ordering of the listed files in this subdir 5. Select some files in this subdir and press CTRL+C 6. The files won't get "selected"/"greyed", and paste'ing is not possible anymore for this session of Nautilus -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1322925 Title: Copy, paste stops working randomly in Ubuntu 14.04 nautilus Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The title says it.
