Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

- pick or create a zip file (e.g. select some files and compress them)
- drag another file and drop it over the zip file

Expected: should add the dragged file to the contents of the compressed file.

Observed: shows a popup with this error message that doesn't even make sense:
"An error occurred while adding files to the archive.
You can't add an archive to itself"

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.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 1430578

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
