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.
