As doggenult said it seems that the problem is related to thumbnails. I'm using and old release of ubuntu (11.10 with Nautilus 3.2.1) and have experienced the problem that doggenult commented. I usually generate large pdf files with latex. Sometimes when I navigate in the folder where the file is located, the file doesnt appear. So I go back to the previous folder and enter again and the file appears.
As regards the copy and paste problem, I close the window and open a new nautilus window and it works for a while until the problem appears again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988251 Title: Nautilus cut, copy, paste, move and rename options are greyed out and stop working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/988251/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
