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. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: nautilus ** Description changed: 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'd a specific Ubuntu bug or an upstream one, I reported it 1.5 month ago on Gitlab Gnome without any answer nor review: + 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, still - appears on the first original screen (list is not automatically updated) - - and if deleted from here, actually they disappear from the new folder - ! + 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 !
