How to replicate the bug:
Create a file in the Desktop (or in another place);
Move the file to Trash;
Go to Trash;
Right-click the file and select "Cut";
Go to a directory somewhere and right-click on it;
Select "Paste".
Result: The file was not moved to the intended directory, rather it was
restored to Desktop (or wherever you put it in the first step above)!
I lost some important files doing this because Ubuntu asked me if I
wanted to replace the files and I replied yes (because the directory I
was moving them to was empty), not knowing I was restoring the files.
My Ubuntu is this:
