Bug Description

I have created a folder om my Desktop (called "Skrivebord" in danish)

Populated the folder with som media files

Opened a Nautilus window and navigated to a folder, where I want to copy desktop folder to.

Drag the desktop folder to the Nautilus window - once the icon is hovering over the Nautilus folder, there is no "+" sign (it is a folder on a different disk)

Result:
the folder icon "flies" back to it's position and nothing happens.

Observation: it is the same result, if the ctrl key is pressed while the drag'n drop is performed

I guess it is the gnome-shell program, as it is the only process have activity, while doing the drag'n drop operation (multiple times within seconds)

There is no indication is /var/log/syslog that something is gone wrong.
