Public bug reported: Since Ubuntu 19.04, 19.10 and now 20.04 the copy-and-paste is not working properly.
WHAT I WANT TO DO: Copy a file/folder with Ctrl+C (in nautilus) then paste the path into the terminal/text file. This was the nicest and most-used feature. I use that all the time. Now since some time ago, it does not work anymore. WHAT HAPPENS: The text being pasted has some extra info in front of the path. EXAMPLE: Ctrl+C with the ~/Downloads folder focused should yeild the path /home/lheck/Downloads Now, it gives me this: x-special/nautilus-clipboard copy file:///home/lheck/Downloads This text is useless when pasted. This is a regression, please, fix this, it is still broken during 3 Ubuntu releases!! ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877018 Title: Copy and Paste does not paste a clean path anymore Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since Ubuntu 19.04, 19.10 and now 20.04 the copy-and-paste is not working properly.
