** Description changed:
- In Nautilus 50 a change was made to the default selected button in the
- permanent delete dialog. This causes an additional keypress to be
- required and breaks muscle memory. The issue has been reported and fixed
- upstream, but still appears in Ubuntu 26.04.
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ The default focused action for a "permanent deletion" confirmation
+ dialog in the Files app has unintentionally been changed from Cancel to
+ Delete, in Ubuntu 26.04
+
+ This breaks muscle memory for people upgrading from previous versions of
+ Ubuntu.

```
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ 1. Open Files
+ 2. Select a file to be deleted
+ 3. Press Shift + Del
+ 4. Verify that a confirmation dialog appears
+ 5. Verify that the Delete button is selected by default
+ 6. Press Enter
+ 7. Verify that the file was deleted
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ Problems could manifest in the Files app, default file manager and file
+ picker dialog provider in Ubuntu Desktop.
+
+ We'd like to ship this change in time for Ubuntu 26.04.1 to avoid too
+ many people growing a muscle memory for the unintended behaviour in
+ 26.04
