Daniel: Thank you for the email; thank you for taking an interest in my bug and helping me. I may need to edit my original description based on the following (if editing is allowed).
I believe my problem is different than 1948008 because I am able to copy from the Desktop and then paste back to the Desktop. I am not able to copy a file from the Desktop to another folder (e.g., cannot copy to Documents, Downloads, Pictures, USB-Thumb-drive, etc.); Paste is greyed out. Likewise I am unable to copy from any other folder and paste to the Desktop. If I open the desktop as a folder (Show Desktop in Files) then I can copy a file from the desktop folder to another folder. Likewise I can copy a file from another folder to the desktop folder. Note: I can copy/paste files between other folders (e.g. copy a file from Documents to Downloads and vice-versa); my bug only affects the Desktop. Note: I recently installed gnome-tweaks; I then changed the Workspaces from "Dynamic Workspaces" to "Static Workspaces"; number of Workspaces: 4. Today I changed it back to Dynamic (default). It did not correct bug. I may have changed something else in gnome-tweaks. On 11/10/21 8:06 PM, Daniel van Vugt wrote: > Are you copying/pasting to or from the desktop?
