Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please indicate which version of Ubuntu you are currently using. After explicitly following your instructions I was unable to recreate your bug on Ubuntu 8.10 or 8.04.1. The expected behavior you described was the result I obtained. Perhaps you could elaborate further or post a video screencast of the behavior. Thanks in advance. |

Thank you for posting the screenshot. I am now able to recreate the bug, and I am marking this report confirmed. This bug does not occur when the original file is moved into the directory, only when it is copied. Please verify that this statement is also what you observe. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better! |

Use nautilus to do the following:
* Create file "test"
* Make link to file "test" in a separate folder "a"
* Rename link to "test"
* Drag original file "test" into folder "a"
* Confirm you want to replace the file
Result:
* The original file is truncated and the link remains the same
Expected behavior:
* The link is replaced with a copy of the original file |
