So this problem has been with us since 2011, and I can confirm it still for Ubuntu 14.04.
To reproduce: 1) Copy the name of an arbitrary file: Mark file, F2, Ctrl-C, ESC 2) Copy any file: Mark file, Ctrl-C 3) Paste twice: Ctrl-v, Ctrl-v The second paste is not possible. In fact, Ctrl-A and possibly other keyboard shortcuts won't work either. Now, go through the above steps once more (in a new window), but replace ESC with Enter. The bug does not occur. So ESC seems to be the culprit. Possible workarounds: - Enter out of file name copying, don't escape. - Mouse drag'n drop is still a possibility. - Kind of a workaround is to open a new window (but you need to refind the proper directory). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882307 Title: [list-view] After copying text from a rename entry, file copy menus items are broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/appmenu-gtk/+bug/882307/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
