Public bug reported:

System: Ubuntu 16.04.
Application: Files (graphical file manager) (Nautilus?)

There are two disks mounted in the system:
1. / - root partition
2. /mnt/storage - another partition

User has full privileges to root directory of disk#2 (storage).

Let's create directory on disk#2:
mkdir /mnt/storage/d

Let's create files in the directory:
touch /mnt/storage/d/file1 /mnt/storage/d/file2

1. Open Files application
2. Go to /mnt/storage/d/
3. Try delete file1
It works. The file lands in trash. /mnt/storage/.Trash-1000 directory is 
created and the deleted file is there.

Make following symbolic link:
ln -s /mnt/storage/d /home/user/d

4. Open Files application
5. Go to ~/d
6. Try to remove file2
It DOESN'T WORK. It says it cannot move to trash and user can only permanently 
delete the file.


The application does not properly recognize that ~/d directory is in fact the 
same as /mnt/storage/d.

The same configuration works perfectly in Linux Mint Cinnamon.
