Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
When trying to rename files and taking parts of other file's names, I usually select the "other file", press F2, select part (or all) of this file's name and press Ctrl-C. Now, when I want to use the copied text snippet, I select another file, press F2 again and do Ctrl-V - but the bug now is: Nautilus did NOT copy the selected text from the edit box into the clipboard, but instead the reference to the file - and Ctrl-V leads to duplication of the complete file!!
I tried using the context menu: pressing F2 for rename, select part of a file's name, now go to the right mouse-button context menu and select "Copy" there - this works!!
So: while editing file names, Ctrl-C behaves differently from context-menu's "Copy" command in the same situation!
==> Nautilus should NOT put the reference to a file into the clipboard on Ctrl-C if one is editing the filename!
