Public bug reported: How to replicate the bug:
Create a file in the Desktop (or in another place); Move the file to Trash; Go to Trash; Right-click the file and select "Cut"; Go to a directory somewhere and right-click on it; Select "Paste". Result: The file was not moved to the intended directory, rather it was restored to Desktop (or wherever you put it in the first step above)! I lost some important files doing this because Ubuntu asked me if I wanted to replace the files and I replied yes (because the directory I was moving them to was empty), not knowing I was restoring the files. My Ubuntu is this: Description: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS Release: 16.04 ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: move trash ui -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770668 Title: Cut and paste files from Trash restores them To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1770668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
