No "paste" option available between different Nautilus Windows

[Eero Aaltonen]

*This is apparently ​#51043 all over again, but they suggested to file a new bug for Ubuntu 13.10 saucy salamander.

So, here goes:

I can
====
1. *copy* a file in one Nautilus (Files 3.8.2) window
2. Change to diffent folder in same window
3. Right click on empty space and choose *paste*

What does not work
================
1. *copy* file in Nautilus_window_1
2. *paste* in Nautilus_window_2

The *paste* option is simply grayed out as unavailable.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

(I can't confirm this issue)

This state is reproducible on my computer. I suspect it may be somehow related to opening remote sftp: locations on nautilus.

[Eero Aaltonen (ejn)]

To clarify, copy paste works right after boot between two local nautilus windows. Some action is required to trigger the bug.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you have write rights to that location?

[Eero Aaltonen (ejn)]

Yes. Today I had a nautilus window
sftp://root@remotehost/root

No paste option, [CTRL]+[V] did not work.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
