Public bug reported: When nautilus is in 'search-results' mode, the first found file is displayed as selected (the file symbol and text have an orange background color) but apparently in fact it is not. (Copying the file does not work, or a file that was selected previously is copied instead.)
How to reproduce: * open two tabs at different paths * use CTRL+F to enter 'find' mode * type some letters until a file is found * use CTRL+C to copy the first found file * switch to the second tab * use CTRL+V to paste the file What I expected to happen: * the file should be copied to the second tab What happened instead: * the file was not copied or a different file is copied instead Also when using CTRL+left click to select addition files, these are also displayed as selected, but nothing is copied. When using SHIFT instead, the behaviour is a little bit different, as you have to click two times for the files to be selected, but then all files are copied correctly. Workaround: * unselect the first found file after searching by clicking into the white * select the file(s) again * copy works as expected Nautilus version: 3.26.4 Ubuntu version: 18.04.2 LTS ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1837399 Title: file selection does not work properly in 'search-results' mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1837399/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
