If you drag an item to trash then drag it to a shared folder on another computer it disappears off your computer

[Robin Nixon]

Binary package hint: yelp

I dragged an image file to the trash and then realized that I wanted it after all so I dragged it back but I dropped it on a shared folder by accident and it disappeared off my computer!

Luckily it was copied to the shared folder but shouldn't it have remained in the trash too ?

Steps to reproduce:
1. Move a file to trash
2. Open the trash and move the file to a remote folder on a server (e.g. SFTP folder)

Actual behaviour
The file is moved to the remote folder and deleted from the trash.

Expected behaviour
The file should be copied to the remote folder but the original left in the trash. All files dragged and dropped from a local machine to a remote folder are copied rather than moved so the trash should be no exception.

Robin, could you see what happens if you drag a file to the trash can, and then drag it back out to a normal location like your documents folder? Obviously, make sure that you use a test file for this.

moving to the nautilus package given that the problem is related to that.

Hi.

It works perfectly normally when dragging into the trash and back out to a
local folder. No problems there.

But when dragging from the trash to a remote computer this should surely
make a copy of the file, as with any other copy to a remote computer? But it
doesn't - the original gets deleted from the trash.

- Robin.
