Public bug reported: The problem appears while using the mouse trying to copy or cut / paste links, folders or files from one location to another. After the mouse- right-click drop-down menu selection of 'copy' or 'cut' the second stage - right-click 'paste' (to the desired location) - is greyed out and the selected files won't move/copy. Key combinations CTRL-X, CTRL-C, CTRL-V don't work either.
However dragging and dropping with the mouse allways works perfectly. Also using SHIFT + drag with the mouse works correctly. The files are on the local network on a nfs v3-server (Ubuntu 10.04). Permissions are correct and chmod is 755 (as it has always been). This problem came with the Ubuntu 11.10 workstation and has never occurred before. The workstation was upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 by CD, formatting / (ext4) and leaving Home unformatted (ext4). I am using Unity-2D.
