It's intermittent. Sometimes it works fine. Other times not. The files
are copies of template files I use, which I created, and which I never
changed any properties on.
I use Xfce which comes with Thunar for its default file manager. I like
Thunar, but it has a bug that drives me nuts - when I delete a file the
view suddenly jumps up to the middle of the folder so you have scroll
all the way back to where you were. Because of this a few months ago I
moved to Nautilus, which doesn't have the same bug, but does have a lot
of other limitations. And as a result of those limitations I just moved
to PCFileMan, which is what I am using now. I think PCFileMan is a
keeper.
My point is that there are a lot of different GUI file managers, and
sometimes problems with moving/renaming/deleting are because of bugs in
the file manager, not because of something you are doing wrong. Don't
be afraid to try something else.
Good point. I have various problems with different parts of Ubuntu MATE
18.04, Compiz or Marco, and with Linux Mint 19 MATE. When I get some
free time I'm going to give Rich's favorite distro, Slackware, and see
how it does with my occasional odd use cases.
For example, I recently put Linux Mint 19 MATE on my Lenovo X200 laptop.
I modified the setup and selected "do nothing" when the lid is closed.
However, it goes into suspend mode, and won't come out of it when the
lid is opened and I move the track point (and a separate mouse didn't
help). I tried adding in Ubuntu MATE 18.04 on the same drive as dual
boot. I gave it the same setting of "do nothing" when the lid is closed.
It did leave itself in a condition where I could talk to it from another
machine. But when I opened the lid, the screen went unstable. It was
hard to find the icons to push to shut it down.
Sometimes I think I'm in a situation where some cool new features or bug
fixes were done to a version that introduced new ones, and I'll just
have to wait for the next release for them to go away. Sigh.
