Bug Description
In previous versions of Ubuntu, copying in nautilus behaved so that it was possible to select a file, Ctrl+C (or just right-click + copy) and the resulting data on the clipboard was a "pasteable" file path that could be used directly in a terminal or by Ctrl+V in an open file dialog box. This was incredibly powerful.
Ubuntu 19 behaves differently. If I for example select my .zshrc file in nautilus and past into terminal, the resulting output is:
x-special/
copy
file://
performing the same on Ubuntu 18 or lower would copy the literal path of the file:
/home/trond/.zshrc
imho this is a bug as it deteriorates the overall file management experience in Ubuntu.
