Nope. I just now did it again in nautilus/trusty (1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.4). Even after nautilus --quit and rm -rf ~/.config/nautilus in case it was my old config. Steps to reproduce: 1) create your crash test dummies: $mkdir /tmp/test_real ; mkdir /tmp/test_real/foo ; mkdir /tmp/test_link ; ln -sT

The difference with a text file is that it shows with a proper icon rather than the same folder icon, and nautilus specifically asks to overwrite rather than merge. But on symlinks nautilus asks Merge folder? and then actually overwrites. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

TBeholder, thanks for the follow up. The way I was going about it was not an apples-to-apples test of what was originally reported against in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/95854/comments/4 . I think the edited Bug Description will make it clear to all the scope of the

Which is the trouble with this bug: it's actually several otherwise very minor shortcomings that add up to a nasty result. Apples-to-apples check did fix one problem, but it's circumvented via another. The second big deal, of course, is that usually symlinks are treated as their targets, but
