Public bug reported:

Affected version
Nautilus 3.38 on Ubuntu 20.10 (but I also saw this bug some months and versions 
ago)

I don't know if it's a specific Ubuntu bug or an upstream one, I reported it 
1.5 month ago on Gitlab Gnome without any answer nor review:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/1723

Resume: File moved with "Cut" from a window with an active search
filter, and pasted in another folder on a second Nautilus window (not a
subfolder), still appears on the first original screen (list is not
automatically updated) - and if deleted from here, actually they
disappear from the new folder !

It can occur to loose important documents  - I often make direct shift-
deletes, without recycler storage...

Steps to reproduce
I open a Nautilus window, go to a folder and make a search filter, for example 
20 files appear on the window which name contains my search filter.

If I select one of them, make Cut / Ctrl-X, open a new Nautilus window,
go to another folder (which is not a subfolder of the first) and make
Paste / Ctrl-V, it wells copy the file in the new folder.

If I switch to the first Nautilus window with the original folder and
search filter active, the moved file still appears on the list and I can
open it. I think I've made an error (Ctrl-C instead of Ctrl-X) so I
shift-delete it, it disappears from the list and only 19 files remain.

Current behavior
But… If I go to the second Nautilus window and the 2nd folder, the file has 
also disappeared from it ! File in the first window was "transformed" to a link 
instead of being removed, and suppressing it also deletes the file in its new 
folder - in my case, I lost several documents like this because of Shift-Delete 
and not trash use.

Expected behavior
After Cut - Paste, in the case of 2 Nautilus windows are opened, the file(s) 
moved from the first one should not be still visible in the search list, there 
should be an automatic refresh.

If I do a Copy-Paste instead of a Cut-Paste, problem does not occur:
delete only removes file in the fist original folder, not on the second.
If I close the search filter, it's also OK, file(s) moved no more
visible. And of course, if after Cut I stay in the same Nautilus window
and go to another folder to paste, no problem: bug only occurs in case
of a second window opened.

Thanks in advance and best regards.
