Public bug reported:
Special characters (at least spaces) are escaped with backslash when
copying file paths in Nautilus.
Say I have a PDF file named "date - document.pdf". The expected output
from copy path would be:
> /home/user/date - document.pdf
Instead, Nautilus returns the following:
> /home/user/date\ -\ document.pdf
It would be more natural not to escape spaces, since they are not
escaped for example in the terminal.
