Drag path from Nautilus does not work

[Max Reynolds]

When working with files or directories in Nautilus, I used to be able to drag them onto Terminator in order to copy their path. This still works when using Gnome Terminal but no longer works in Terminator.

I am still experiencing issues with this.

I am having the same issue on Ubuntu 19.04. Which is too bad as I use this feature a lot when I want to change from the gui to the command line.

I did some testing with different terminal emulators and file managers. Wether or not the issue occurs does not seem related to the file manager. When dragging from Nautilus, Nemo or Thunar I always get a path in gnome terminal, and none in terminator.
It seems the issue is not limited to terminator. The same problem occurs with the terminals emulators xterm and urxvt. I think this used to work in the past too, for example dragging a path from thunar to urxvt. Could a change in gnome cause this functionality to break in all terminals except gnome terminal?
