Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
To reproduce: Copy some text from anywhere to the clipboard. Cut a file in Nautilus (right-click a file and select cut or select a file and click Ctrl+X) Try pasting in any program other than Nautilus (preferably a program that accepts text input, e.g. a text editor) The filename of the cut file is inserted. What was expected: The original copied text should have been inserted. Reasoning: Since cutting a file is removing it from its destination and putting it somewhere else, pasting in something else than a file manager does not yield the expected operation. Suggested fix: Nautilus should keep a copy of the current contents of the clipboard when doing a cut operation, check if the target of the paste is a file manager (or other program that accepts a file as input) and continue the operation as it functions now if it is, or the previous contents of the clipboard if it is not.
