I'm not quite sure how to debug or report this one which is why I'm mentioning it here. I was moving to a new hard drive and copying /home/ files from my old hard drive to my new one. I opened Nautilus and was dragging and dropping folders to my new hard drive when I selected three such folders and mid-dragging, they disappeared! After a few searches, there is definitely no trace of them whatsoever either on my old drive or my new drive. I downloaded and ran extundelete on my old drive which didn't find anything even with the --recover-all switch. It seems that the dragging process destroyed all trace of the files.
Luckily, I had those folders on a backup and firearms are regulated in Canada. However, I'm assuming that destroying folders isn't part of the design of Linux so I'd like to file a bug but I don't know what evidence to collect. Can someone help?
