Do you know exactly *what* they are doing to make the files go to the Trash? Are they right-clicking and selecting Trash? Or are they dragging and dropping the files? Or is there some other way they do it? Finding the cause is a good way to find the solution. There are some bad side-effects to using graphical interfaces, one of which is the poor timing between mouse (or trackpad) and screen, which sometimes means that a bogus click is "detected" while the pointer is moving, and if that occurs over a file icon, the file can accidentally get selected and moved. This happens more frequently than you would imagine, and it is made worse if the operating system suddenly decided to do some housekeeping in the background, and robs all the cycles from the mouse-detection routines, because then the pointer location is not updated, and the pointer jerks across the screen, so genuine clicks can be applied to the wrong objects. How old are your machines? This problem is more prevalent on older machines with slower processors. On 05/25/2017 09:43 PM, fred roller wrote: > Gustavo, thank you for the clarification.

The last time I looked (about three months ago), Dolphin was fatally broken under Xubuntu because someone moved the icons it used, so no icons are displayed, and it hasn't been updated to fix the problem. Which is a pity because it was probably the best file manager, and now it's useless. ///Peter -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
