Apologies for the double comment - but I realized I missed one of your questions. The size and type of files does not seem to matter. I've had this happen with text, image, video, and "other" files of sizes from a couple kilobytes up to several megabytes. I have not tested with a large number of files of several gigabytes, though I don't imagine it would be as noticeable since one would reasonably expect those to take a bit of time to copy normally.
As far as I can tell there are no definite triggers. When I was first doing a prototype build of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and ran into this bug, I did a fresh build, updated all packages, and then was able to easily replicate after a clean boot and nothing running except the file browser. My current system uses SSD drives only, but I have also verified on a system with spindle disks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1133477 Title: cut-n-paste move files got stuck forever To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1133477/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
