@Wolfgang You're welcome, glad I could help. Phil V. mentioned the workaround was rebooting the system, actually you only need to close the nautilus window affected by the bug and open a new one and you're good to go.
About closing the upstream bug, since I'm new here (this is my first bug report) I'll leave that decision to Pedro, but I think you're right, it seems to be a Ubuntu specific bug. By the way I found something else in renaming files in list view, I don't know if I should mention it in this thread, but maybe it's related. When renaming a file if you left click with the mouse outside the file being renamed, the changes you made in the file name aren't saved. This behavior isn't the same as in the other views or even in list view in Ubuntu 11.04. Sorry if I shouldn't mention this here, if you guys think I should file a different bug report for this, please tell me and I'll do it. -- 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/882307 Title: [list-view] After copying text from a rename entry, file copy menus items are broken Status in Nautilus: Incomplete Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “nautilus” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: When renaming a file in nautilus, in list view, if you copy the highlighted part of the name, after this you're unable to copy/paste files This only occurs in list view Steps to reproduce: - Open Nautilus - Chose List View - Right click a file and chose Rename.
