Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When trying to rename files and taking parts of other file's names, I
usually select the "other file", press F2, select part (or all) of this
file's name and press Ctrl-C. Now, when I want to use the copied text
snippet, I select another file, press F2 again and do Ctrl-V - but the
bug now is: Nautilus did NOT copy the selected text from the edit box
into the clipboard, but instead the reference to the file - and Ctrl-V
leads to duplication of the complete file!!
I tried using the context menu: pressing F2 for rename, select part of a
file's name, now go to the right mouse-button context menu and select
"Copy" there - this works!!
So: while editing file names, Ctrl-C behaves differently from context-
menu's "Copy" command in the same situation!
==> Nautilus should NOT put the reference to a file into the clipboard
on Ctrl-C if one is editing the filename!

Ctrl-C while editing file names won't copy selected text - but the whole file!
