Bug Description

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"

Nautilus 2.21.91

When you middle-click on a file in a directory and then release in the same directory, it will ask you in a context menu "Move here", "Copy here", "Link here".

I select "Copy here", and it says;
- "A file named "movie.mpg" already exists. Do you want to replace it?"
- The file already exists in "/home/ubuntu/moo". Replacing it will overwrite its content."

But it shouldn't do that. Instead it should make a copy of the file named "Copy of movie.mpg".
